ABSTRACT
A 16-year old female presented to hospital with abdominal pain. Features on computed tomography raised the possibility of biliary cystadenoma or cystadenocarcinoma. She underwent a liver resection, and histopathology confirmed a serous biliary cystadenoma. This case is presented to highlight the radiological features of this uncommon pre-malignant condition as well as to summarize a management algorithm for cystic liver lesions.
RESUMEN
Una mujer de 16 años de edad acudió al hospital con un dolor abdominal. Las características observadas con tomografía computarizada apuntaban a un cistoadenoma biliar o un cistoadenocarcinoma como diagnósticos diferenciales. La paciente fue sometida a una resección del hígado, y la histopatología confirmó un cistoadenoma biliar seroso. Presentamos este caso para resaltar los rasgos radiológicos de esta condición premaligna rara, así como para resumir un algoritmo de tratamiento para las lesiones císticas de hígado.
