Physical findings included generalized jaundice, abdominal enlargement and a firm, palpable mass on the right upper quadrant measuring 12cms x 7 cms. Patient underwent excision of choledochal cyst and hepaticoduodenostomy. The importance of constant follow up was explained to the parents. Choledochal cyst is a rare condition occurring in less than 1% of the population. It is a congenital dilatation of the hepatic and biliary ducts with 5 different types. Ultrasound is the initial imaging study of choice. Diagnosis was confirmed by upper abdominal CT scan. At present, surgery is the only mode of therapy for all forms of choledochal cysts.
