Clinical and autopsy findings of a rare condition, carcinoma arising in the wall of an idiopathic choledochus cyst, are reported. Endogeneous carcinogen which is likely to be present in the bile, and coexisting chronic inflammation in the wall of the cyst are assumed to be significant causative factors for the development of carcinoma. The possibility of dysontogenetic development of carcinoma was also discussed.
