What are choledochal cysts?

Also known as: CC, cysts of the bile ducts.

If a duct draining bile from the liver is dilated or shows an out-pouching in a particular segment, this is called a choledochal cyst. The cysts can occur in the part of the bile duct located either inside or outside the liver.
