Gallbladder and Bile Duct Disorders

A case of cystadenoma of the common bile‐duct with areas of carcinoma in situ in a 61 year old woman is presented. Pre‐operative investigations may confuse this rare tumour with the more common choledochal cyst although this case raises the possibility that this neoplasm may have arisen within a longstanding choledochal cyst. Due to the risk of malignant transformation, complete excision of any cystic lesion of the bile‐duct is recommended.
