Choledocal cysts are cystic dilations that can occur in a single or multiple form in the biliary tree. Cysts can be congenital or acquired and are associated with numerous anatomical abnormalities. The presence of pain in the upper right quadrant of the abdomen, jaundice and palpable abdominal mass form the classic triad that is present in 15% to 45% of patients. We report the case of a 19-year-old woman patient, who she was admitted with abdominal pain in the right hypochondrium, nausea and vomiting, which evolved into jaundice.
