Overview
Liver cysts are common, detected in as much as 4-7% of the general population,[1][2] and are the result of many causes. Most cysts are found incidentally, on imaging studies ordered for other reasons altogether. Some cysts, however, can become symptomatic – causing pain, nausea, jaundice, compressing other abdominal structures, rupturing or compromising the function of the liver.[3] When symptomatic, an intervention is often indicated. As the causes are so diverse, it will be useful to discuss these cysts, their diagnosis and their management, separately.
