A case of ciliated hepatic foregut cyst treated by laparoscopic excision / 대한내과학회지

ABSTRACT

Ciliated hepatic foregut cysts are uncommon lesions of the liver. They arise from remnants of the embryonic foregut, and are usually asymptomatic and benign. They are lined with a layer of ciliated columnar cells and contain mucoid material and debris. Ciliated hepatic foregut cysts are not malignant neoplasms and must be differentiated from cystic neoplasms and hypovascular solid tumors. We experienced a case of ciliated hepatic foregut cyst, which was successfully removed by laparoscopic excision, so we report the case with review of the literature.
