Choledochal cysts are rare cystic dilatations of the bile ducts, which are commonly found in children. Choledochal cysts in adults are uncommon, and cystic dilatation of the cystic duct (type VI choledochal cyst) is a unique occurrence. To date, specific pathogenic and diagnostic criteria for describing type VI cysts have been lacking. This report attempts to lay down the specific diagnostic and management criteria of this uncommon entity, with reviews of all available cases reported in the literature.
胆总管囊肿是胆管的罕见囊性扩张，常见于儿童。成人胆总管囊肿不常见，而胆囊管的囊性扩张（VI 型胆总管囊肿）则是一种独特的发生情况。迄今为止，还缺乏用于描述 VI 型囊肿的特定发病机制和诊断标准。本报告试图为这一不常见的疾病制定具体的诊断和治疗标准，并对文献中报道的所有可用病例进行回顾。
