Abstract
AbstractHepatic cysts are common, occurring in at least 2–7% of the population, and are typically discovered incidentally with the frequent use of ultrasonography and computed tomography. Only about 16% of such cysts are symptomatic [1]. They may be either congenital or acquired. The more common congenital variety may represent malformed bile ducts while the acquired type of hepatic cyst usually arises as sequelae of inflammation, trauma or parasitic disease, and sometimes neoplastic disease [2].
