Conclusion:
Giant choledochal cyst is a very rare disease which can be diagnosed
using abdominal CT scan and abdominal ultrasound scan. Use of ERCP and
MRCP techniques is increasing for the non-invasive diagnosis of
choledochal cysts however they are still rare and expensive in our local
setting. Complete surgical excision reduces the chances of pancreatitis
and biliary malignant transformation. This is one of the first reported
cases of a young adult in the literature of giant choledochal cysts to
be managed successfully in any African nation.
