Ultrasound of the abdomen in a 3-year-old girl suggested the presence of a choledochal cyst. A hepatobiliary study was consistent with such a cyst.

Summary:Ultrasound of the abdomen in a 3-year-old girl suggested the presence of a choledochal cyst. A hepatobiliary study was consistent with such a cyst. Delayed images, however, revealed periabdominal activity, suggesting a bile leak. At surgery, the choledochal cyst was confirmed and noted to be the source of bile leakage.
