| Summary: | Biliary cystadenomas are rare, potentially malignant neoplasms of biliary origin occurring predominantly in middle aged
women. Here we report a case of biliary cystadenoma in a young female who presented with an epigastric mass and
features of obstructive jaundice. Imaging studies showed a mass in the left lobe of liver with dilated intra hepatic biliary
ducts, right hepatic duct and common bile duct. Patient was subjected to left hepatectomy and hepatico-jejunostomy.
Histopathology confirmed the lesion as biliary cystadenoma with choledochal polyp. |
