[Ultrasound image of an unusual intrahepatic site of a bile duct cyst].
An intrahepatic cyst was found ventral and cranial to the gallbladder without choliangectasy in an infant of 8 months of age. Final diagnosis of a bile duct cyst was arrived at intraoperatively. The article discusses the possible aetiology, non-invasive diagnosis and sonographic differential diagnosis. Sonography is discussed as the method of choice in assessing intrahepatic and extrahepatic cysts and the bile ducts.
