History and Symptoms

The clinical presentation is variable, depending on the size and location of the cyst. Abdominal pain, obstructive jaundice, palpable mass, increasing abdominal girth, nausea, and vomiting are common signs and symptoms.

Biliary cystadenomas range in size from 3 to 40 cm. Large cystadenomas may demonstrate mass effect on adjacent organs or may be associated with hepatomegaly.
