- Abstract
- Ciliated foregut cysts of the liver are rare, with only 96 cases diagnosed since the first description in 1857. They are being increasingly diagnosed recently; the majority of the cases have been reported in the last 15 years. Although they bear a close resemblance to the simple cyst of the liver which has essentially a benign course, ciliated hepatic foregut cysts (CHFCs) can progress to malignancy with devastating consequences. It is imperative that this group of conditions be diagnosed and treated adequately.
