Choledochal cysts (CCs), congenital cystic dilatation of the biliary tract, are more commonly identified in females and have been associated with a myriad of other developmental abnormalities. Case Report: We present a male infant who was diagnosed with type I CC prenatally. He subsequently underwent cyst and gallbladder resection with hepaticoduodenostomy reconstruction at the age of 6 months. Pathologic examination confirmed type I CC with co-existing septate gallbladder and ectopic pancreas (Heinrich type 1). Conclusions: Although the clinical significance is unclear, this second case of CC with septate gallbladder and ectopic pancreas highlights the embryologic association of these abnormalities.
