Choledocus cystic disease is the most frequent benign malformaton of de biliary tract, with an inci-dence of 1/100 000 people. It occurs more ofen in children and teenagers, especially in young women. Occasionally, it remains silent untl adulthood and itis diagnosis may occur as a finding afer an imaging study. Cystic dilataton of the biliary tract produces biliary stasis, which is a predisposing factor for the formaton of primary stones of the common bile duct, and in 17.5% of cases it may present malignant degeneraton. We present a 16 year old female patent who presented with symptoms of cholangitis, being 16 weeks pregnant.
