SEGMENTAL CYSTIC DILATATION of the biliary ductal system leads to bile stasis, predisposes to bacterial growth and by compression of parenchymal cells, impairs liver function. When these lesions are due to a develop-mental defect in the duct wall they are referred to as" congenital segmental cystic dilatation of the ductal system"(Fig. 1). This term is applicable to both the intraand extrahepatic bile ducts. Historical reports of patients with this condition, extending back to 181814 and long dormant, have received increasing attention since Caroli in 19585 described in detail the distressing course of this condition. We agree with others3, 4" 12" 15 that the defects that are the basis for segmental dilatation are congenital. One hundred and fifty-four years ago, in 1818, Todd14 reported from the Dublin Hospital a patient with a diffuse cystic dilatation of the common duct. In 1904 (86 years later) Mayo-Robson9 called attention to a specimen in the Hunterian Museum in London. It was described by him as" a large tumor of the liver constituted by dilated hepatic ducts which form a series of cysts within the substance of the liver itself."...." There was no obstruction in the main channel." Yotuyanagi18 in 1936 recorded a patient with a large cystic dilatation of the common duct and an intrahepatic cyst of the right duct. He described the cyst as" the size of an apple" and microscopically as having a single layer of epithelium inside the cyst wall. Another unique and significant case report is that of McWhorter re-ported in 192411 and again in 1939.10 The patient, a woman of 49, underwent resection of a large dilated common duct. A cholecystectomy and choledocho-duodenostomy were performed. She died at age 69. Autopsy revealed dilatation of major intrahepatic ducts with" cystic degeneration."
