Abstract:
A 59-year-old woman with polycystic liver (PCLD) and kidney disease (PCKD) presented with jaundice, fever, and abdominal pain. A computered tomographic (CT) scan performed immediately after an endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatogram (ERCP) clearly demonstrated a hepatic cyst obstructing the biliary system. The cyst was then aspirated under ultrasound guidance with complete relief of obstruction.
