【Abstract】Objective  To evaluate the distribution of nerve growth factor receptor( P75 NGFR) in congenital choledochal cyst(CCC) and its clinical implication. Methods  Specimens from 18 children with CCC and normal choledochal specimens from 9 controls were immuno-stained with P75 NGFR antibody. Results  Extensive P75 NGFR staining was found in the nerve fibres of normal comnon bile duct,bly staining of ganglion cells were observed on the normal specimens. There was very little immunoreactive fibre in the CCC. Conclusion  The abnormal distribution of P75 NGFR in the aganglionic choledochal suggests that abnormal P75 NGFR is related to the occurrance of the CCC.
