“…Some studies have successfully ablated hepatic cysts by use of alcohol similar to what we did [17,18]. However high recurrence rate has been reported when needle aspiration of hepatic cysts was performed [19-20. In this study we had an hepatic cyst that recurred and was eventually managed surgically.…”

“…However, if no attempt at ablation of the cyst wall is made,recurrence of the cyst mayoccur, and an infection may develop (7). In recent years, symptomatic hepatic cysts have been treated percutaneously with drainage and instillation of a variety of sclerosing agents , including 95 % alcohol, Pantopaque, and doxycycline (8)(9)(10). Tetracycline has been administered by intrapleural route for the managementof malignant pleural effusion (ll).…”

Wereport a case ofobstructivejaundice caused by a large hepatic cyst whichwas successfully treated by percutaneous drainage and instillation of minocycline hydrochloride. An 88-year-old man presented with obstructive jaundice and upper abdominal fullness. Abdominal CT and ultrasonography revealed a large hepatic cyst and intrahepatic bile duct dilatation. After the percutaneous drainage of the cyst, minocycline hydrochloride was instilled as a sclerosant via a catheter into the cyst cavity. Liver enzymelevels returned to normal and thejaundice disappeared. Nine months after the treatment, the large cyst and dilatation of the intrahepatic bile duct had disappeared. The patient has remained healthy without symptoms.

“…[15][16][17] Benign hepatic cyst is a congenital lesion derived from biliary endothelium that does not communicate with the biliary tree. Cysts can be solitary or multiple, and are typically discovered incidentally in the fifth to seventh decades of life and are typically round or ovoid and well defined.…”

Ultrasound

Ultrasound is often the first point of detection of liver lesions, with up to 75% of liver lesions detected at ultrasound having benign histology. In 2012, NICE issued recommendations that ultrasound contrast be used for the evaluation of incidentally discovered liver lesions. This has been demonstrated to provide a rapid and cost-effective evaluation for incidental liver lesions, in many cases precluding the need for further CT or MRI scans. The aim of this review is to demonstrate the ultrasound features of benign liver lesions, and to demonstrate their further characterisation with contrast ultrasound.
