SUMMARY A report is made on a Case of choledochus cyst. After injection of a contrast medium directly into the cyst a new type. of roentgenogram pathognomonic for this condition was obtained. Owing to its Bize, the cyst could be punctured without undue risk and a roentgenogram was obtained showing the gall‐bladder as an appendix to the cyst. Such an intervention ought to make it possible, in other cases also, to diagnose the condition at an early stage and submit the patient to operation in time.
