We report a very rare case of type I choledochal cyst associated with a polycystic kidney disease. A 48- year-old female had been dependent on hemodialysis for chronic renal failure due to polycystic kidney disease and was incidentally diagnosed to have a dilated common bile duct by an ultrasonography. An endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography showed a spindle-shaped, dilated common bile duct (type I choledochal cyst) without visualization of the pancreatic duct. She underwent a resection of the choledochal cyst. Intraoperative cholangiography showed no reflux of contrast medium into the pancreatic duct. Amylase level of the aspirated bile from the bile duct was not elevated. In the case of choledochal cyst combined with renal fibropolycystic disease, pancreaticobiliary maljunction may not contribute to the etiology of choledochal cyst. In such cases, management of choledochal cyst is still controversial and requires further discussion.

A young adult male presented with biliary colic and intermittent jaundice for 1 year. Abdomen findings were unremarkable. Routine investigations revealed a raised total bilirubin. On abdominal ultrasonography, common bile duct (CBD) dilatation with multiple stones was noted. On further imaging with magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography, type I choledochal cyst (CDC) was suspected. A laparoscopic approach was planned. Intraoperatively, dilatation of cystic duct was noted which constitute type VI CDC. Partial malrotation of the gut and accessory right hepatic artery were also noted as incidental finding. Laparoscopic cholecystectomy with CBD exploration and removal of stones, biliary stent placement, cystic duct cyst excision and primary repair of CBD was done. Postoperatively, the patient improved symptomatically with a fall in bilirubin to normal range. We are describing the laparoscopic management of a rare case of type IV CDC which was diagnosed intraoperatively.

Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) facilitates endoscopic access to the common bile duct and pancreatic duct. It has become central to the management of a variety of benign and malignant pancreatobiliary disorders. ERCP remains a technically challenging procedure and patient selection and pre-assessment is critical to ensure good clinical outcomes. Staff assisting in ERCP should familiarise themselves with the underlying principles and basic knowledge pertaining to various aspects of ERCP.

Background—Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease, the most frequent inherited polycystic disease, is a systemic disorder characterised by the development of numerous and bilateral kidney cysts leading to chronic renal failure. Extrarenal cysts are located mainly in the liver but also in various organs including the pancreas. To our knowledge, complications of pancreatic cysts in this disease have never been reported.Patient—The first case of painful chronic obstructive pancreatitis due to a true pancreatic cyst in a patient with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease is reported. Abdominal transparietal and endoscopic ultrasonography, computed tomography, and endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography showed a cystic lesion in the body of the pancreas associated with upstream dilatation of the main pancreatic duct. Intraoperative ultrasonography before and after cyst fluid aspiration, and pancreatography and pathological examination of the resected distal pancreas confirmed that both main pancreatic duct enlargement and chronic pancreatitis were caused by a benign cyst.Conclusion—Chronic obstructive pancreatitis should be added to the extrarenal complications of autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease.

Studies in rodents with reduced nephron mass have suggested a strong positive correlation between dietary phosphate consumption and CKD progression. Prior work by our group demonstrated that dietary phosphate restriction can prevent tubular injury and microcyst formation in rodents with glomerulonephritis. Tubular injury and cystic dilation of tubules are key contributors to kidney function decline in polycystic kidney disease (PKD). Here, we determined whether dietary phosphate restriction slows renal cyst growth and fibrosis in a mouse model of PKD. Pcy/pcy mice received a normal phosphate (0.54%) or a phosphate-restricted (0.02%) diet ( n = 10/group) from 7 to 20 wk of age. All of the other major dietary constituents, including protein source and content, were comparable between the two diets. At 20 wk, body weight, kidney weight-to-body weight ratio (KW/BW), cystic area, cyst number, and kidney fibrosis were quantified. Pcy/pcy mice fed a phosphate-restricted diet had lower serum phosphate, fibroblast growth factor 23, and parathyroid hormone levels, along with elevated serum calcium levels and increased kidney Klotho gene expression compared with mice that consumed the control diet. Dietary phosphate restriction resulted in a 25% lower KW/BW ratio and reduced the cyst number, cystic index, and gene expression for the tubular injury markers neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin and interleukin-18. Mice fed the phosphate-restricted diet exhibited lower kidney expression for pathways involved in collagen deposition and myofibroblast activation (collagen type I-α1, phosphorylated SMAD3, and α-smooth muscle actin); however, histological differences in kidney fibrosis were not appreciated. Dietary phosphate restriction slows cystogenesis and inhibits the activation of key pathways in the generation of kidney fibrosis in PKD mice.
