title: Unusual Presentations of Choledochal Cyst: Case Series and Review of Literature.
abstract: Congenital cystic dilation of the biliary duct is defined as choledochal cyst (CDC). CDC presenting with the classical triad of abdominal pain, lump, and jaundice is seen in only 6 % cases. Cyst excision with hepaticojejunostomy is the standard treatment worldwide. We hereby report five cases of CDC with unusual presentations (gastric outlet obstruction, cyst perforation, giant cystolithiasis, giant cyst, and mixed type) and discuss the challenges faced during the diagnosis and perioperative management of these cases.
