Choledochal cyst is a rare disease of the biliary tract. There are five main types of choledochal cysts with a few recognized sub-types. The etiology of choledochal cysts still is unclear. A new type, type VI, causing dilation of the cystic duct between the neck of the gall bladder and the common hepatic duct (CHD) has been described in medical literature which is the rarest of all these subtypes. They are commonly observed in middle aged females and are mostly symptomatic. Most of these cysts need magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (MRCP) for accurate diagnosis .Excision of the Choledochal cysts has shown excellent results; hence early diagnosis and management are recommended. we present an interesting case of such a rare cyst and its management in a middle aged woman.
