Introduction Congenital hepatic cyst is a rare hepatobiliary malformation that can present as an asymptomatic, unilocular, upper abdominal cystic mass in the fetus. Cases We report two cases of congenital hepatic cyst in which the diagnosis was made by prenatal ultrasound at 25 and 33 weeks’ gestation. The diagnosis was confirmed postnatally by abdominal ultrasound and radiologic imaging studies. Although the infants remained asymptomatic, laparoscopic excision was performed due to the increasing size of the cyst in both cases. Pathological examination of the resected specimens confirmed a simple cyst in one case and an epidermoid cyst in the other. Conclusions Our cases and those described in the literature demonstrate the usefulness of incidental prenatal detection of congenital hepatic cyst, especially during late pregnancy. Such a diagnosis can allow for proper perinatal surveillance, selection of the route of delivery, and timely postnatal surgical intervention if required.

“…Redo hepaticojejunostomy for children with choledochal cyst can -in experienced hands -be carried out safely as a minimally-invasive approach [32,33] . Other indication in which laparoscopic hepatobiliary surgery has been advocated in the pediatric population is the resection of hepatic cysts, even in the neonates [34,35] . Although these cysts rarely require intervention, if they do they usually do not require formal liver resections but simple cyst resection.…”

Minimally-invasive liver resection (MILR) is a promising approach and has become a standard therapy option for a variety of indications, including liver tumors, in adults. Although minimally-invasive techniques are common practices in children, the usage and literature regarding MILR in children is scarce. In this article, we give an update on the current literature, share some of our own experience and give a future outlook of the potential benefits and shortcomings regarding MILR in children.

Nordin [7] продемонстрировал 5 случаев лапароскопического лечения непаразитарных кист печени у младенцев, причем в двух случаях было выполнено полное удаление кист и в трех случаях операция была выполнена с использованием фенестрации. A. Linden сообщил об использовании лапароскопии у 4 детей, два из которых были новорожденными [4].…”

“…Врожденные непаразитарные кисты печени встречаются редко у взрослых пациентов и еще реже диагностируются у детей [1][2][3][4]. Прогресс в области диагностического пре-и постнатального ультразвукового исследования позволил обнаруживать это заболевание значительно раньше [3].…”

“…Энуклеация кисты с использованием лапаротомии до определенного момента считалась опти-мальным методом лечения этого заболевания. Применение минимально инвазивной хирургии у детей привело к тому, что лапароскопический подход для удаления кист печени становится все более популярным и получил широкое распространение [4,6,7]. Однако из-за редкости аномалии, сообщения об использовании эндохирургии в педиатрической популяции пациентов являются раритетными.…”

The study presents a discussion of the literature on congenital non-parasitic cysts of the liver known to date. Congenital non-parasitic cysts of the liver in children are rare. In children, the cysts are believed to be the unique reason for abdominal tumors. Although the majority of liver cysts in children are asymptomatic, some infants can have the symptoms in the prime of life frequently requiring urgent surgery. All the patients need a surgery to prevent complications and malignization of the cyst. The purpose of the surgery is to enucleate the cyst preventing a cancer recurrence. Minimally invasive surgery is used to treat hepatic cysts in children with ever-increasing frequency.
