Abstract:
A ciliated hepatic foregut cyst (CHFC) is a very uncommon cystic hepatic lesion that arises from an embryonic remnant of the foregut epithelium. CHFC is predominantly asymptomatic and is found incidentally. However, it can show various clinical presentations such as pain and weight loss. We present the case of a 17-year-old female who came to our hospital with complaints of right subcostal pain and abdominal discomfort and was diagnosed with CHFC by biopsy. Successful laparoscopic resection was performed due to the possibility of malignant transformation. Even though the majority of the patients are asymptomatic and cysts are commonly found incidentally, when the lesion has concerning features, they may need follow-up or resection due to rare reported cases of malignant transformation.
