title: Management of a ruptured bile duct cyst.
abstract: A case of a ruptured bile duct cyst in a 25-year-old male patient is presented. The initial management of the clinical presentation of acute abdomen consisted of an exploratory laparotomy and a T-tube cystostomy of a choledochal cyst. Two months later, he was admitted to our surgical department. Preoperative evaluation showed a type IV-A choledochal cyst. The patient underwent excision of the choledochal cyst, cholecystectomy, and the construction of a Roux-en-Y end-to-side hepaticojejunostomy.
