Overview
Causes
Many biliary cysts are congenitally acquired, perhaps as a consequence of unequal proliferation of epithelial cells during embryonic biliary duct development. Some biliary cysts are acquired, and some may develop in association with anatomic variations that lead to abnormally high ductal pressures in association with other predisposing factors.
