  • Title: [Treatment of congenital dilatation of the bile ducts. Apropos of 3 cases].
    Author: Berger A, Roger V, Wind P, Chevallier JM, Cugnenc PH.

    Abstract:
    Congenital dilatation of the bile duct is an uncommon lesion requiring surgical treatment. Complete excision of the diseased bile duct prevents development of carcinoma of the bile duct. We report three cases of congenital dilatation of the biliary three, each illustrating a particular aspect of the therapeutic strategy. One patient had an unusual anomaly of the pancreaticobiliary junction that required pancreaticoduodenectomy. Another patient developed carcinoma of the bile duct 15 years after an internal derivation of a choledochal cyst. The last patient had dilatations of the common and intrahepatic bile ducts associated with congenital hepatic fibrosis.
