title: Biliary cyst. A case report.
abstract: A case of type-IA biliary cyst, according to the Todani classification, is reported in a 44-years-old man admitted to hospital with epigastric pain. Ultrasound was misleading; CT scanning and preoperative cholangiography confirmed the biliary duct's dilatation. Cyst excision and hepaticojejunostomy were performed with a view to avoiding possible cyst cancerization.
