AB Improvements  in  radiographic  imaging  over  the  last  several  decades  have  led  to  an  increased  recognition  of  cystic  lesions  in  the  liver  and  biliary  tract.  These  cysts  have  a  wide  range  of  etiologies  including  congenital  malformations,  infections,  and  neoplasms.  This  chapter  discusses  benign,  infectious,  and  neoplastic  cysts  of  the  liver  and  biliary  tract.  A  complete  understanding  of  the  presentation,  risk  factors,  and  radiologic  features  is  crucial  to  accurately  identifying  these  cysts.  Accurate  identification  is  essential  for  determining  the  best  treatment  strategy,  which  may  require  surgery.
