Abstract
Purposes: Dilatation of cystic duct is very rare and had been classified as Todani type VI choledochal cyst. Choledochal cyst combined with dilatation of cystic duct is difficult to diagnose preoperatively. The purpose of this study is to report the rare variants and discuss the significance and laparoscopic management strategy in children. Methods: The subjects for this study were 10 consecutive patients with type VI choledochal cyst who had laparoscopic procedures at our institute between January 2009 and January 2023. Laparoscopic cholecystectomy, excision of the dilated cystic duct, and choledochal cyst were carried out, and the continuity of the biliary duct was re-established through a Roux-en-Y hepaticojejunostomy. Results: Cystic duct combined with the common bile duct dilatation was revealed in all the patients intraoperatively. Laparoscopic procedures were completed with no conversions. The postoperative recovery was uneventful. The mean follow-up duration was 27 ± 12.7 months (range 5-36 months) with no postoperative complications encountered. Conclusions: The rare entity of type VI choledochal cyst should be recognized as a distinct type of choledochal cyst and need to be given enough attention clinically. The laparoscopic procedure is a feasible option for experienced surgeons.

Abstract
A 53-year-old male patient with a previous diagnosis of dilatation of the common bile duct was admitted to the hospital due to recurrent episodes of vague epigastric pain over a 4-month period. After undergoing abdominal CT, MRI, MRCP, ERCP examinations, together with joint diagnosis by the radiology department and the gastroscopy unit, the diagnosis of a cystic dilatation of the common bile duct was excluded, and to preliminarily diagnose as cystic lesion at the hepatoduodenum ligament. A nasobiliary tube was preset before the surgery, and it was found that the gallbladder, the cyst, and the common bile duct were connected in sequence during the surgery, leading to the definitive diagnosis of biliary cyst of the cystic duct. During the surgery, the anatomical position of the common bile duct was accurately identified, avoiding iatrogenic biliary injury and preserving the integrity of the common bile duct structure. The patient recovered and was discharged from the hospital on the 14th postoperative day. Cystic duct cysts are a relatively new and rare condition. This case demonstrates that clinical decision-making by a multidisciplinary team is of great significance for such diseases, and preoperative assessment of the anatomical relationship between cystic dilation lesions in the hepatic portal region and the biliary system and gallbladder is also crucial.

Abstract
Cholestatic jaundice characterized by elevated conjugated bilirubin can be due to multitude of factors in neonates and childhood. Extrahepatic biliary atresia (EHBA), choledochal cyst, neonatal hepatitis, cytomegalovirus (CMV), and biliary plug are some of the common causes in neonate and early infancy. Causes in late infancy and childhood comprises viral hepatitis, choledochal cyst, cholelithiasis, worm infestation, and biliary compression secondary to extrinsic causes (node, collection, tumor). Some serious disorders like biliary atresia must be considered with the emphasis on early diagnosis of treatable causes. In the modern era, with multiple diagnostic modalities available including high-resolution ultrasonography, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), CT scan, and nuclear imaging [hepatobiliary iminodiacetic acid (HIDA) scan], rapid diagnosis can be made in many surgically treatable cases. The authors will discuss the imaging modality available with advantages, disadvantages, and common indications of each modality, and overview of obstructive jaundice discussing the wide spectrum of causes in neonates and late childhood. Combining available knowledge with careful and meticulous search can help narrow down the diagnosis and initiate prompt treatment.

Abstract
Over the past two decades, there have been an increasing number of reports describing a sixth type of choledochal cyst (cystic duct cyst) in adults that was not included in Todani's classification. This sixth entity has not yet been systematically reviewed in the literature. We therefore explored this condition in adults from the perspective of the clinical presentation, diagnosis and treatment through a systematic review of the evidence. The final analysis included 33 reported cases, with 55% of them reported in Asia. The mean age was 39.3 years old, with a female-to-male ratio of 1.5:1. Magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography was accurate in establishing the diagnosis in 69% of cases. Where reported, standard laparoscopic/open cholecystectomy was performed in about 74% of patients, while around 25% of them needed extensive surgery. Associated malignancy was reported in 6.1% of cases, while 28% of patients had co-existent gallstone-related disease. No significant post-operative morbidity or mortality was reported. In this era of emergency laparoscopic cholecystectomy, surgeons should be aware of this rare condition, with the particular understanding that it is associated with gallstone-related disease in a significant number of reported cases.

Abstract
Type VI choledochal cysts or cystic duct dilatation cysts are a relatively new and rare condition. We report the case of a 35-year-old man who presented with a history of recurrent episodes of epigastrium pain. Magnetic resonance cholangiography revealed a cyst lodged between the cystic duct and the right anterior sectoral bile duct. He underwent a laparoscopic right anterior sectorectomy with cholecystectomy. Pathological examination revealed a cyst with a fibrous wall, dense chronic inflammatory infiltration, lined by columnar epithelium. Due to its rarity, the diagnosis is often made intraoperatively. The treatment of cystic duct cysts includes cholecystectomy, complete cyst excision, recontinuity of the common bile duct. Type VI choledochal cysts are extremely rare. Preoperative diagnosis, using either magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography or endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography, is vital to prevent postoperative complications. Treatment of this type of cysts includes cholecystectomy and complete cyst excision and biliary-enteric reconstruction if necessary.

Abstract
A young adult male presented with biliary colic and intermittent jaundice for 1 year. Abdomen findings were unremarkable. Routine investigations revealed a raised total bilirubin. On abdominal ultrasonography, common bile duct (CBD) dilatation with multiple stones was noted. On further imaging with magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography, type I choledochal cyst (CDC) was suspected. A laparoscopic approach was planned. Intraoperatively, dilatation of cystic duct was noted which constitute type VI CDC. Partial malrotation of the gut and accessory right hepatic artery were also noted as incidental finding. Laparoscopic cholecystectomy with CBD exploration and removal of stones, biliary stent placement, cystic duct cyst excision and primary repair of CBD was done. Postoperatively, the patient improved symptomatically with a fall in bilirubin to normal range. We are describing the laparoscopic management of a rare case of type IV CDC which was diagnosed intraoperatively.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Choledochal or common bile duct (CBD) cysts are congenital cystic dilatation of any part of the bile ducts. It has been classified into five main types by Todani et al. Isolated cystic duct cysts are not included in this classification. It is extremely rare, and there are a limited number of cases in the literature.
Case presentation
A 34-year-old male patient was admitted to our hospital with right upper quadrant (RUQ) pain experienced intermittently for the past year. His medical history and laboratory findings were normal. Physical examination revealed tenderness in the RUQ. Abdominal ultrasonography shows that a thin, tubular, cystic lesion was associated with the CBD. On magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (MRCP), a saccular dilatation was observed in the middle part of the cystic duct. Isolated cystic duct dilatation was considered with current imaging findings. Laparoscopic cholecystectomy and cyst excision were performed. Surgery findings and histopathological examination of the excised cyst confirmed the diagnosis.
Conclusion
Isolated dilatations of the cystic duct are extremely rare, and familiarity with this anatomic variation and its early diagnosis can prevent complications such as inflammation and malignancy and guide the surgery. The most effective noninvasive imaging method in diagnosis is MRCP. Also, we recommend that it be classified as a new type with the name type VI biliary cyst, in addition to Todani classification.
