INTRODUCTION Hepatic cysts encompass a spectrum of clinical etiologies but most are benign, occur rarely, and are usually asymptomatic. Symptomatic cysts may present with abdominal pain, hemorrhage, obstructive jaundice, or a consumptive coagulopathy. The optimal surgical management of hepatic cysts varies depending on the size and location of the lesion, but includes laparoscopic cyst fenestration, formal resection, enucleation, as well as liver transplantation.
