Proper diagnosis cystic lesion of liver was evaluated by ultrasonography for further management. Conclusion: Ultrasound by virtue of non-invasiveness, lack of radiation hazard and by ability to demonstrate structural changes in organ is investigation of choice in liver pathology and it can easily detect solid to cystic lesions and characterize the size, shape and extent of lesion.
