Özet

Interstitial cells of Cajal (ICC) have been shown to be present in the extrahepatic biliary tract of animals and humans. However, ICC distribution in choledochal cysts (CC) has not been investigated. A study was conducted to investigate the distribution of ICC in the extrahepatic biliary tract, including CC, in pediatric human specimens.
