Abstract：Choledochal cysts (CCs), first described by Vater and Ezler in 1723, are rare congenital cystic dilations of biliary tract [1]. The most widely adopted classification system from Todani et al. divides CCs into five major types and several subtypes [2]. Almost all of the CCs are type I and type IV-A, while type IV-B is extremely rare [3,4]. The accurate diagnosis and precise categorization of CCs are crucial for surgeons to perform proper operative strategy. Here, we report a typical CCs of Todani type IV-B with a typical scenario of pancreaticobiliary maljunction (PBM) in a 50-year-old male, and proper surgical treatment was conducted with uneventful recovery.
