Abstract
Type IV congenital cyst of bile duct represents about 10% of all bile duct congenital cysts in adulthood. Clinical presentation is usually related to recurrent jaundice and abdominal pain. No cases of type IV bile duct cyst p resenting with acute pancreatitis have been described so far. We herein rep ort two cases of such association; bath patients recovered from acute pancr eatitis. The relevant world literature is reviewed.
