AB The  differential  diagnosis  of  cystic  lesions  of  the  liver  includes  bilomas,  abscesses,  parasitic  disease,  simple  cysts,  polycystic  liver  disease  (PCLD),  biliary  cystadenoma,  and  cystadenocarcinoma.1  The  disease  spectrum  includes  infectious,  traumatic,  congenital,  and  neoplastic  hepatic  lesions  that  are  relatively  uncommon.  While  significant  improvements  have  been  made  in  the  diagnosis,  treatment,  and  outcome  of  many  of  these  cystic  hepatic  lesions,  controversy  continues  regarding  the  best  treatment  option.  Many  classification  systems  exist  for  these  lesions;  however,  the  one  used  in  this  chapter  is  presented  in  Table  43-1.
