Simple hepatic cysts (SHCs) are formations that contain serous fluid surrounded by normal hepatic parenchyma with no communication with intrahepatic bile ducts. Symptoms develop as a result of their size or complications such as bleeding, rupture, intracystic infection or compression of adjacent structures.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
