Abstract

Solitary nonparasitic liver cysts are clinically rare, and fewer than 900 patients have been documented over the years. A case is described of a female patient with a large solitary cyst containing 7 L of fluid, which was treated successfully by unroofing. The literature relating to the clinical features, incidence, pathogenesis, histopathology, diagnostic imaging, and surgical management of such cysts is reviewed.
