Ciliated hepatic foregut cysts (CHFC) are rare, benign liver lesions. This case report reviews the literature, highlighting the rarity of these cysts, with only 60 documented cases found.

Area of Science:

  • Hepatology
  • Surgical Pathology
  • Diagnostic Imaging

Background:

  • Ciliated hepatic foregut cysts (CHFC) are uncommon, benign liver lesions characterized by columnar ciliated epithelium and connective tissue.
  • These solitary, uniloculate cysts are typically found in the left lobe of the liver.

Observation:

  • Diagnosis of CHFC often occurs incidentally during autopsy or imaging studies for unrelated conditions.
  • The authors present a case of CHFC, contributing to the limited documented instances.

Findings:

  • The literature review identified only 60 previously reported cases of CHFC.
  • This underscores the extreme rarity of this specific type of liver cyst.

Implications:

  • Increased awareness of CHFC among clinicians and radiologists may improve incidental diagnosis.

  • Further case reporting is crucial for understanding the full spectrum and potential clinical significance of CHFC.
