  • Title: Choledochal cyst sans cyst--experience with six "forme fruste" cases.
    Author: Thomas S, Sen S, Zachariah N, Chacko J, Thomas G.
    Journal: Pediatr Surg Int; 2002 May; 18(4):247-51. PubMed ID: 12021972.
    Abstract:
    Six children presented with clinical symptoms suggestive of a choledochal cyst (CC), but were found to have only mild dilatation of the common bile duct. Further imaging revealed a long common pancreaticobiliary channel in all cases. There was complete relief after surgery provided a pancreaticobiliary disconnection was incorporated in the operative management. A high index of suspicion is required to diagnose this condition, which has been previously reported as "forme fruste CC".
