Diverticular Choledochal Cyst with a Large Impacted Stone Masquerading as Mirizzi's Syndrome

Choledochal cysts are congenital anomalies of the biliary tract manifested by cystic dilatation of the extrahepatic and intrahepatic bile ducts. Choledochal cyst is not rare in far-East Asian countries. Type II choledochal cysts account for 2% of all such cysts. They are true diverticula of the extrahepatic bile duct and communicate with the bile duct through a narrow stalk. This condition is associated with significant complications, such as ductal strictures, stone formation, cholangitis, rupture and secondary biliary cirrhosis. We describe a case of a huge impacted stone in a diverticular choledochal cyst which masqueraded as an unusual cystic duct stone causing Mirizzi's syndrome.
