Rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) is the most common tumour of the biliary tree in childhood. In children, it is a rare lesion, accounting for about 1% of all RMS. Hepatobiliary botryoid RMS is a disease affecting young children at a median age of about 3 years. In literature, the radiological findings of hepatobiliary RMS have been described in small series and some case reports. In this case report, we present a rare case of RMS of the extrahepatic biliary tree initially diagnosed as a choledochal cyst.
