Abstract

Cystic lesions of the liver are commonly encountered in routine clinical practice with a reported prevalence of 15%?18%. They may range from a benign simple developmental cyst to a malignancy. Therefore, an accurate diagnosis is essential for adequate management. Cystic tumors of the liver are classified based on the content (mucin containing or not), presence of ovarian stroma, and biliary communication. Biliary cystadenoma are a group of hepatobiliary neoplasia which by definition must be multilocular, lined by a columnar epithelium, and have a densely cellular ovarian stroma. We report a case of a cystic lesion in the hilar region of the liver, which had features of biliary cystadenoma on the preoperative imaging. However, on exploration was found to be a diverticular variant of type V choledochal cyst arising from both hepatic ducts. We have discussed the preoperative imaging features, intraoperative cholangiogram, and the management of this cystic lesion.
