Overview
Causes
Most commonly, liver cysts are the result of malformed and dilated bile ducts, set in the background of fibrous stroma, thought to be constituents of the spectrum of fibropolycystic disease including congenital hepatic fibrosis, autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease, bile duct atresia, Caroli’s disease, and mesenchymal hamartomas.[1] While the understanding of these lesions is evolving, there are three major categories: bile duct hamartomas, cystadenomas and cystedocarcinomas.
In addition there are hydatid cysts – Echinococcosis – which are caused by the larval form of Echinococcus granulosus.
