摘　　要：To the Editor:Choledochocele,also known as type III choledochal cysts in the classification by Todani et al.[1],is a congenital abnormality of the biliary system.It is characterized by a cystic dilation of intramural segment of the distal common bile duct(CBD)protruding into the descending duodenum.Choledochocele makes up about 0.5%−4%of choledochal cysts[1,2].Compared with other subtypes,the incidence of choledochocele is extremely low and it frequently presents in adults at a relatively older age,with an average age of 51 years[3].The diagnosis and treatment are challenging.Here,we present a case of a young female patient with this rare disease entity,who recovered after effective endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography(ERCP)management.
