Diagnostic Dilemma Between Todani Type II Choledochal Cyst and Duplication of Gallblader in an Adult Patient

We present a case of a young female patient who was investigated for atypical chronic symptoms. Imaging studies with u/s and MRCP confirmed the presence of a cystic lesion of 5 ×6cm next to the gallbladder which could not be differentiated from choledochal cyst type II or duplication of the gallbladder. It was excised laparoscopically, with concomitant cholecystectomy. On histology, proved to be a choledochal cyst type II. Laparoscopic approach in such cases is feasible a nd should be undertaken cautiously applying the technical tips necessary for patient’s safety.
