Abstract
A rare clinical observation of a cystic formation of the biliary system — mucinous cystadenoma of the cystic duct is presented. This type of tumors is benign, but in 20 % of cases their malignancy is described. They are often detected incidentally during routine examination and require surgical treatment, regardless of clinical manifestations. Difficulties in differential diagnosis led to unreasonably long follow-up, ending with malignancy of cystadenomas, which reduces the possibility of radical surgical treatment. Therefore, timely detection and differentiation of biliary mucinous cystadenomas by examination are very important for treatment strategy.
