Type 1 — a cyst of the extrahepatic bile duct, accounting for up to 90% of all choledochal cysts. Type 2 — an abnormal pouch or sac opening from the duct. Type 3 — a cyst inside the wall of the duodenum. Type 4 — cysts on both the intrahepatic and extrahepatic bile ducts.
Choledochal cysts are an inherited condition that slows the flow of bile carried from the liver to the small intestines. These cysts enlarge the ducts that transport bile between the liver, where bile is produced, and the small intestine. They can occur in the bile ducts, either inside or outside the liver.
Type II choledochal cysts (see image below) appear as an isolated true diverticulum protruding from the wall of the common bile duct. The cyst may be joined to the common bile duct by a narrow stalk.
Type I cysts are a dilatation of the extrahepatic bile duct. They are the most common type and seen in 75–85% of cases [7, 8].
Type III choledochal cysts are the least common biliary cyst subtype. They have a female predominance and are the most likely to present at an older age. The most common clinical presentation is acute pancreatitis. The overall incidence of adenocarcinoma is approximately 2.5%.

Background/purpose: Type IV-A choledochal cysts are characterized by congenital cystic dilatation of the biliary tree extending to involve the intrahepatic biliary channels also. A single-center experience of the management of type IV-A choledochal cysts is presented.
Todani classification of the bile duct cysts. A: Type IA B: Type IB C: Type IC D: Type II E: Type III F: Type IVA G: Type IVB H: Tip V. Type IA Choledochal Cysts: Characterised by cystic dilatation of the extrahepatic biliary tract; the intrahepatic biliary tract is preserved.
Patients with types I and IV choledochal malformation had an increased risk of malignancy (P = 0·016). Patients who underwent cystic drainage had an increased risk of developing biliary malignancy compared with those who had complete cyst excision, with an odds ratio of 3·97 (95 per cent c.i. 2·40 to 6·55).
Patients undergoing excision of a choledochal cyst are subject to the usual complications associated with surgery, including hemorrhage, wound infection, bowel obstruction, and thrombotic complications. Postoperatively, patients are at risk of developing pancreatitis and ascending cholangitis.
Complete excision of choledochal cysts is currently regarded as the gold standard treatment, while less extensive procedures including cystoduodenostomy have become obsolete due to the potential for malignant change in the remnant cyst.
Choledochal cyst is a premalignant condition with substantial risk of malignant transformation into cholangiocarcinoma, bile duct cancer. Cholangiocarcinoma is a type of highly aggressive cancer with a poor prognosis. Diagnosis of choledochal cyst is obtained with CT scan or MRI/MRCP scan.
There is an increased risk of cancer in the wall of the cyst. In older individuals, choledochal cysts are more likely to cause abdominal pain and intermittent episodes of jaundice and occasionally cholangitis (inflammation within the bile ducts caused by the spread of bacteria from the intestine into the bile ducts).

Bile Duct Cysts The most widely accepted hypothesis is that cystic dilatation is related to an anomalous arrangement of the pancreaticobiliary junction, with a long common channel that allows reflux of pancreatic juice into the biliary tree causing inflammation, ectasia, and ultimately dilatation [9].
Q44.4 is a valid billable ICD-10 diagnosis code for Choledochal cyst . It is found in the 2021 version of the ICD-10 Clinical Modification (CM) and can be used in all HIPAA-covered transactions from Oct 01, 2020 - Sep 30, 2021 .

Q44.4 is a billable ICD code used to specify a diagnosis of choledochal cyst. A 'billable code' is detailed enough to be used to specify a medical diagnosis.
Billable codes are sufficient justification for admission to an acute care hospital when used a principal diagnosis.
Choledochal cysts, are rare congenital dilations (enlargements) of the bile ducts, a network of long tube-like structures that carry bile from the liver to small intestine for digestion.
Bile duct surgery with total cyst removal is the definitive treatment for choledochal cysts. In earlier decades, an operation known as cystenterostomy was performed that only drained the cyst and the bilary reconstruction left the cyst behind. That surgery proved ineffective, leaving many patients with recurrent cholangitis and chronic inflammation in the remaining cyst, and the substantial risk of malignant transformation into cholangiocarcinoma (bile duct cancer).
Type III or Choledochocele: Arise from dilatation of duodenal portion of CBD or where pancreatic duct meets.
Although choledochal cysts are present at birth, they are increasingly diagnosed in adults and now comprise 20% of all new cases. Choledochal cysts are inflammatory in nature. Left untreated, this frequently lead to recurrent cholangitis (inflammation and infection in the bile ducts) or pancreatitis (inflammation of the pancreas).
