Hello. With the question: "Is the common bile duct cyst dangerous? How's the treatment?" Your doctor would advise as follows:
Choledochal cyst is a congenital condition. Complications can cause cholangitis, common bile duct stones, and possibly cholangiocarcinoma.
Treatment of choledochal cysts would be to consider cystectomy if possible. Because you don't know your age, don't know what the cyst's shape is (what type of cyst), it's best to go to a specialist in Gastroenterology - Hepatobiliary Surgery at reputable medical facilities or one of the hospitals. of Vinmec Health System nationwide to be tested and effective treatment.
Thank you for trusting and asking questions to Vinmec. Best regards!
