Liver cyst is a relatively common benign liver disease. According to the cause of the disease, it can be divided into two types: non-parasitic liver cyst and parasitic liver cyst. Congenital liver cyst is the most common non-parasitic liver cyst in clinical practice, also known as true cyst, which mainly include simple liver cyst and polycystic liver diseases (PLD). In recent years, with the popularization of ultrasound and other examinations, the detection rate of liver cyst has increased year by year, but there is no unified consensus on the treatment of liver cysts. This article reviews the conservative treatment, puncture drainage, aspiration sclerotherapy, surgical treatment and other treatment options for congenital liver cysts, as well as the technological progress in recent years.
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.
