Giant simple non-parasitic hepatic cyst – case report and review of literature
Journal Title: New Medicine - Year 2014, Vol 18, Issue 3
Abstract
Giant simple hepatic cysts are observed in less than 5% of the general population. Cysts are usually seen in patients older than 40 years old, but giant cysts are diagnosed in patients older than 50 years old. Hepatic cysts are more commonly diagnosed in females than in males (49:8). There are observes more often in the right lobe of the liver. Most of the simple hepatic cysts are asymptomatic and do not indicate abnormal liver function. The authors of this article presented a case of a woman who was admitted to the hospital because of giant simple hepatic cyst. The patient was suffering for abdominal pain for two years. She underwent surgical operation and left the ward in the 5th day after surgery. After operation the symptoms of disease were alleviated. The authors performed a literature review on giant hepatic cysts.
