A rare congenital hepatic cyst in an infant, diagnosed prenatally, was successfully removed. This ciliated hepatic foregut cyst exhibited unique features, including biliary communication, not previously documented.

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Surgery
  • Gastroenterology
  • Congenital Malformations

Background:

  • Congenital hepatic cysts are rare malformations.
  • Ciliated hepatic foregut cysts (CHFC) are a specific subtype with unique histology.
  • Prenatal diagnosis of hepatic cysts is increasingly common.

Observation:

  • A male infant presented with a large congenital hepatic cyst detected via prenatal ultrasound.
  • The cyst demonstrated clear communication with the biliary tree.
  • Surgical removal via extended right hepatectomy was performed.

Findings:

  • Histopathology confirmed a CHFC, characterized by ciliated, stratified squamous epithelium and a smooth muscle/fibrous outer wall.
  • The cyst was unilocular and thick-walled.

  • Key features—prenatal detection, infant age, large size, and biliary communication—are novel for CHFC.

    • Implications:

    • This case expands the known clinical and pathological spectrum of CHFC.
    • Highlights the importance of thorough histopathological examination for diagnosing rare congenital anomalies.
    • Suggests CHFC may present with significant biliary communication, impacting surgical approach and outcomes.
