Abstract
Mature cystic teratoma (MCT) is a tumor of embryological origin, which contains tissue
derived from any or all germ cell lines found in an abnormal location. We present
2 cases of MCT both arising from the porta hepatis that were incorrectly thought perioperatively
to be a choledochal cyst, which subsequently were demonstrated on histology to be
a MCT.
