Abstract
|
|
|
|
Simple liver cysts are common and benign lesions, and most of them are detected by ultrasonography (US) or computed tomography (CT) during a medical checkup. Because simple liver cysts are generally asymptomatic, they do not require treatment, although hemorrhage, infection or rupture may occur in rare cases and these cases must receive proper treatment. The diagnosis of simple liver cysts is usually easy because of their typical morphological findings on US or CT. However, when a liver cyst contains hemorrhage or it is inflamed on imaging studies, it is sometimes difficult to differentiate simple hepatic cysts from such conditions as cystadenoma and cystadenocarcinoma. In this report, we describe a case of simple liver cyst that was complicated by intracystic hemorrhage, and this malady was initially diagnosed as biliary cystadenocarcinoma. We successfully treated this lesion by left lateral segmentectomy
