ABSTRACT
Cystoadenomas of the liver are rare cystic tumors that have seldom been reported. Accurate preoperative diagnosis is difficult because they are usually mistaken for more frequent lesions. Due to their malignant potential, complete surgical removal of the lesion is required. Correct diagnosis is guided by clinical history, radiological imaging, and laboratory parameters. We report two of these rare cases and discuss the spectrum of presentation, pathological features and treatment of these tumors.

Los cistoadenomas hepatobiliares son tumores quísticos infrecuentes. Su diagnóstico preoperatorio es difícil ya que con frecuencia se confunden con otras lesiones quísticas más comunes. Son lesiones con potencial maligno, de ahí que su tratamiento consista en la extirpación quirúrgica. Los datos de laboratorio, la historia clínica y las imágenes radiológicas deben orientarnos hacia su diagnóstico. Se presentan dos de estos infrecuentes casos y se discuten tanto los modos de presentación como los tipos histológicos y el tratamiento que precisan estas lesiones (AU)
