On examination he has normal vitals, icteric sclerae, and abdominal tenderness with a mass palpable in right upper quadrant. His laboratory report shows bilirubin: 6.5 mg/dl, negative viral serologies and mild elevations of amylase and lipase.

Choledochal cyst----Type I---Most common-----cystic enlargement of the common hepatic and the common bile duct. Usually presents in children as obstructive jaundice and recurrent attacks of pancreatitis....The mild elevations of amylase and lipase in this case supports our diagnosis.

Caroli’s syndrome both are congenital probs.. how would you differentiate??
