title: [Asymptomatic cystic dilatation of the choledochus in an adult].
abstract: A congenital choledochal cyst, type Ia according to Todani's classification, was discovered fortuitously in a 54-year old man by abdominal sonography. The patient had no biliary symptoms, and liver tests were normal. Excision of the cyst was performed because of the theoretical risk of cholangiocarcinoma. Recovery was uneventful.
