Solitary hepatic cysts (SHC) are common, but complications like obstruction or infection can occur in large cysts. Treatment, such as partial excision or percutaneous drainage, is recommended for large SHC to prevent adverse outcomes.

Area of Science:

  • Hepatology
  • Gastroenterology
  • Surgical Oncology

Background:

  • Solitary hepatic cysts (SHC) are frequently diagnosed benign liver lesions.
  • While generally asymptomatic, complications can arise in approximately 10% of cases.

Observation:

  • This report details four cases of complicated SHC.
  • Complications included vena caval obstruction, intracystic bleeding, rupture, and infection.
  • These complications were observed in large cysts, with diameters up to 8 cm.

Findings:

  • Three patients were successfully treated with partial cyst excision.
  • One patient underwent percutaneous drainage guided by CT scan.
  • Small SHC (<8 cm) typically do not require intervention, whereas larger cysts warrant treatment to prevent complications.

Implications:

  • Effective management strategies for complicated SHC include surgical partial excision and percutaneous drainage.
  • Percutaneous aspiration with alcohol injection may lead to recurrence.
  • Partial cyst excision demonstrates a successful therapeutic approach with low mortality and morbidity rates for managing complex hepatic cysts.
