Choledochal cyst (CC) is a relative rare condition in adult population. Only 20% of CC presents in adult population, ofthese 80% presents with additional hepatobiliary pathology (1,2). With widespread usage of cross sectional imaging,more cysts are likely being identified incidentally in asymptomatic individuals. The development of cancer arising fromcysts increases from 11.4% after 2nd decade of life. Anatomic abnormalitypancreaticbiliary maljunction (PBM) is a noted etiologic factor for cyst development and even for development ofcancer in cysts. We report a rare adult presentation of choledochal cyst with underlying abnormal pancreaticobiliarymaljunction with gall bladder carcinoma.
