Area of Science:
- Hepatobiliary Medicine
- Surgical Oncology
- Gastroenterology
Background:
- Liver cystoadenomas are uncommon cystic neoplasms of the liver.
- Preoperative diagnosis is challenging due to their resemblance to more frequent liver lesions.
Observation:
- Presents two rare cases of liver cystoadenoma.
- Highlights the diverse clinical presentations and pathological features.
Findings:
- Accurate diagnosis relies on integrating clinical history, radiological imaging, and laboratory findings.
- Complete surgical excision is the recommended treatment due to malignant potential.
Implications:
- Emphasizes the importance of considering liver cystoadenoma in the differential diagnosis of liver cystic lesions.
- Contributes to understanding the presentation, pathology, and management of these rare tumors.
