Case report: massive biliary dilatation mimicking cystic retroperitoneal masses on computed tomography.
An unusual case is presented in which a massively dilated common bile duct produced a confusing CT image of multiple cystic areas within the abdominal cavity. Cholangiography and CT-cholangiography were useful in establishing the correct diagnosis. The differential diagnosis of cystic retroperitoneal masses is discussed.
