Choledochal cyst or biliary tract cyst is a pathological condition characterized by abnormal dilation of the hepatobiliary system. In veterinary medicine, case descriptions and histological characterizations of this biliary malformation are scarce, requiring reliance on data from human medicine. A presumptive diagnosis typically involves imaging studies, with histopathological examination required for confirmation. Treatment often involves surgical intervention to remove the cyst and restore normal biliary function. A 15-year-old mixed-breed domestic female cat presented with vomiting and anorexia. Ultrasonographic examination revealed a dilation adjacent to the caudal aspect of the gallbladder. The patient underwent surgical intervention, during which a sacculation in the cystic duct region was identified and completely excised. Histopathological analysis confirmed the diagnostic suspicion of a biliary tract cyst. Despite the limited veterinary literature, the success of the surgical intervention, involving complete cyst removal, was evident. The patient remains stable and fully recovered twelve months post-surgery.
胆总管囊肿或胆道囊肿是一种以肝胆系统异常扩张为特征的病理状况。在兽医学中，关于这种胆道畸形的病例描述和组织学特征很少，需要依赖来自人类医学的数据。初步诊断通常涉及影像学检查，确诊需要组织病理学检查。治疗通常需要手术干预以切除囊肿并恢复正常胆道功能。一只15岁的混种家养雌性猫出现呕吐和厌食症状。超声检查显示胆囊尾部附近有扩张。该患者接受了手术干预，术中在胆囊管区域发现一个囊袋并将其完全切除。组织病理学分析证实了对胆道囊肿的诊断怀疑。尽管兽医文献有限，但手术干预成功切除了整个囊肿。患者术后十二个月保持稳定并完全康复。
