title: [Choledochocele. Report of a case and review of the literature].
abstract: We report a 29 years old man with a choledochocele or type III choledochal cyst, an extremely rare condition. This was found during a cholecystectomy using a transcystic intra operative cholangiogram. A transduodenal sphincteroplasty was performed. The cyst diameter was 1.5 cm approximately and two 1-2 mm stones were extracted from its lumen. The chemical composition of these was different from those located in the gallbladder. The postoperative period was uneventful and the patient remains asymptomatic.
