[Obstruction of the common bile duct by a cystic duct cyst in the recipient after liver transplantation].
Four cases of tension mucocele of the cystic duct of the graft after orthotopic liver transplantation have been described in the English literature. We report the case of a mucocele of the recipient's cystic duct occurring in a patient who underwent liver transplantation for sclerosing cholangitis secondary to histiocytosis X. At variance with the 4 previously reported cases, this complication could be related to progression of the initial disease in the recipient's cystic duct. To avoid such a biliary complication in patients undergoing a liver transplantation for sclerosing cholangitis, resection of the extra-hepatic duct must be as large as possible and choledochojejunostomy seems to be the best procedure for biliary reconstruction.
