Choledochal cyst associated with HIV (Human Immunodeficincy Virus) disease

Abstract

Choledochal cysts are believed to be congenital dilatations of the intrahepatic or extrahepatic bile ducts, or both, of unkown aetiology-.1 They were first described by Vital and Ezler in 1723.2 However, the aetiology of choledochal cyts remains speculative despite a considerable research effort over the years.
