We report a case of a ciliated hepatic foregut cyst (CHFC) in the left lobe of the liver in a 42-year-old woman. To date, only 60 cases of these respiratory epithelial lined hepatic cysts have been reported since first described by Friedrich in 1857. CHFC are believed to be ...

The pseudocysts occurred in the left lobe in both cases, one after a traumatic injury and the other after alcoholic pancreatitis. The possible topographical sequences with which pancreatic secretions entered the left hepatic lobe to form a cyst are discussed. (H EPATOLOGY 1991;13:359-363)....
Case presentation We report a case of progressive morphologic changes from simple hepatic cyst to hepatobiliary cystadenoma by 11 ??? year follow up imaging. A 25-year-old man visited our hospital in 1993 for a simple hepatic cyst. The cyst was located in the left lobe of the liver, was ...
A Case of Fulminant Meningococcemia: It Is All in the Complement MDCT of the liver (Figure 1) was notable for a cystic SOL with enhancing septae occupying segments 4a and 4b and abutting the middle hepatic vein. CT volumetry revealed an adequate future liver remnant for both left and rig...
Narrowing of the portal vein lumen may be caused by (a) extravascular compression by a tumor, enlarged lymph node, cyst, abscess, or hematoma, (b) idiopathic circumscribed stenosis,21or (c) intravascular obstruction by athrombusor parasites, all of which can lead to portal hypertension.22Portal...
As the largest substantive organ of animals, the liver plays an essential role in the physiological processes of digestive metabolism and immune defense. However, the cellular composition of the pig liver remains poorly understood. This investigation use
CONCLUSION: In hepatic cysts with mural nodule, left-lobe cyst or increment of serum alkaline phosphatase seem to be indicative of BCTs in the diagnosis of suspicious hepatic cyst. Intracystic debris, bile duct dilation, and mural nodule may be suggestive clinical features of malignancy in BCTs....
Abdominal ultrasound and CT scan revealed the presence of multiple cystic lesions in the portal area of the left lobe of liver and dilatation of peripheral biliary branches. Endoscopic retrograde cholangiography showed a biliary stenosis of the left hepatic duct and irregular dilatations of peripheral ...
