RESUMEN
Congenital solitary nonparasitic cysts of the liver are rare condition in all age groups. Since 1856, only approximately 900 cases having been reported in the world literature. Epidermoid cysts of the liver are extremely rare type of congenital nonparasitic hepatic cysts, characterized by a fibrous wall entirely lined with stratified squamous epithelium, but lacking hair or skin appendages. This condition has yet to be reported in Korea. Because they have a potential for malignant transformation, it is important to totally resect the epidermoid cyst of the liver. Recently, we experienced a case of 44-year-old female patient with epidermoid cyst of the liver, which condition was complicated by a secondary infection. For this patient, an enucleation of entire cyst was performed. Given the rarity of this case, the following is a report of this case and a review of the relevant literature.
