A Rare Case of Ectopic Pancreatic Tissue in Type 1 Choledochal Cyst with Cholelithiasis and Choledocholithiasis in a 4-Year-Old Female - Case Report

Ashish Kumar, Kush Kumar Luthra

Abstract: This study presents a rare case of ectopic pancreatic tissue associated with a choledochal cyst in a 4 - year - old female who exhibited recurrent abdominal pain. Clinical examination revealed a firm, non - mobile mass in the right hypochondrium, and imaging studies, including USG and MRCP, indicated cholelithiasis and choledochal cyst. The patient underwent successful surgical excision of the choledochal cyst with Roux - en - Y hepaticojejunostomy, with histopathological analysis confirming the presence of ectopic pancreatic tissue. This case highlights the importance of recognizing the potential for ectopic pancreatic tissue in choledochal cysts, emphasizing the need for careful long - term follow - up due to the increased risk of pancreatic malignancy even post - cystectomy.
