Meta-analysis of risk of developing malignancy in congenital choledochal malformation.

CONCLUSION: The risk of developing malignancy among patients with choledochal malformation was almost 11 per cent. The malignancy risk following cystic drainage surgery was four times higher than that after complete cyst excision. Complete surgical resection is recommended in patients with choledochal malformation. PMID: 29480528 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
