Area of Science:

  • Hepatobiliary pathology
  • Gastrointestinal embryology
  • Diagnostic imaging

Background:

  • Ciliated hepatic foregut cysts are rare congenital anomalies.
  • They originate from foregut developmental remnants.
  • Accurate diagnosis relies on integrating imaging and histopathology.

Observation:

  • A patient presented with a cystic hepatic tumor.
  • Unenhanced CT showed a high-density mass.
  • Ultrasonography revealed a cystic mass with high echoic spots.

Findings:

  • Surgical exploration identified a unilocular cyst with viscid tan fluid.
  • Histopathology confirmed the cyst was lined by ciliated epithelium.
  • The diagnosis was ciliated hepatic foregut cyst.

Implications:

  • This case highlights the importance of correlating radiological findings with cyst content.
  • Understanding imaging characteristics aids in diagnosing rare hepatic cystic lesions.
  • Early and accurate diagnosis can guide appropriate management strategies.
