Choledochal cyst (CC) is not common in Africans. Unlike biliary atresia, this condition commonly presents in late infancy and early childhood, and occasionally also in adults. Typical pattern of presentation is with abdominal mass, abdominal pain and seldom intermittent jaundice. These conventional presentations can be sometimes heralded by chollangitis, malnutrition, and failure to thrive in some category of patients with delayed presentation.
