TI  - Hyaline cartilage at porta hepatis in extrahepatic biliary atresia: metaplasia or 
      choristoma.

AB  - We report a case of a 5-month-old child who presented with the features of 
      obstructive jaundice, anaemia and had no associated congenital anomalies. The 
      child was suspected to have biliary atresia on hepatobiliary iminodiacetic acid 
      (HIDA) scan and underwent Kasai portoenterostomy. Microscopic examination of the 
      atretic gallbladder revealed islands of mature hyaline cartilage, lymphoid 
      aggregates and fibrosis. There was an abrupt transition between the cartilage and 
      the adjacent stroma. Only rare case reports have documented this finding with 
      hypothesis ranging from metaplasia occurring secondary to the associated chronic 
      inflammation or whether it is a choristoma. These cases need to be documented to 
      elucidate the pathways of occurrence and may lead to have a better and detailed 
      understanding of the disease process.
