[Non-parasitic cysts of the liver (considerations on 10 surgically treated cases)]

The Authors report their experience concerning 10 cases operated on for non-parasitic cysts of liver, among which a case of multicystic liver and a biliary pseudocyst. They emphasize the necessity, in symptomatic patients, for a selective treatment, but, where possible, with complete removal of cystic wall. The interventions performed also include six typical hepatic resections (two right hepatectomies, one of which extended to the fourth segment, and four minor resections), which revealed to be an effective therapeutical means, exempt from significant postoperative complications.
