“…Laparoscopic surgical approach is a feasible option for resection of CHFC given that the cyst wall is thick enough to be excised from the hepatic parenchyma and the lesion is situated on the surface of the liver. A few reports of laparoscopic CHFC resection have been documented in the literature [18] , [19] , [20] , [21] , [22] , which all showed favorable outcomes without any major complications. However, lesions that are located centrally or posteriorly, or those that involve major biliary or vascular structures, are considered as relative contraindications for laparoscopic surgery due to the increased technical difficulty associated with their excision [10] .…”

“…Therefore, the suspicion of CHFC is an indication of surgical treatment. 9 The prevalence of simple hepatic cysts is 4.5-7%, and they usually have a greater presence in women than in men, in a 1:5 ratios. An infected liver cyst is characterized by clinical symptoms such as fever and abdominal pain.…”

Liver cysts are formations of serous content surrounded by normal liver parenchyma, without communication with the bile duct. The cyst wall is generally lined with cuboidal epithelium surrounded by layers of connective tissue. They are rare entities in adult patients, generally, they are asymptomatic in 3%, and between 10-15% of all patients will generate symptoms that lead them to consult. A 38-year-old man with an external abdominal tomography study that reported a giant hepatic cyst. Laboratory blood tests: hemoglobin 7.9 g/dl; leukocytosis 11,000/ul; serum electrolytes, liver transaminases, and bilirubin were normal, alkaline phosphatase, and gamma glutamyl-transpeptidase 94 U/l and 241 U/l, respectively. Non-reactive anti-human immuno-deficiency virus (HIV 1) and two antibodies, venereal disease research laboratory (VDRL), cancer antigen (CA) 19-9 antigen, hepatitis B-C surface antigen, and carcinoembryonic antigen were negative. He underwent surgery by laparoscopic drainage of the liver cyst, through a median infraumbilical incision with the Hasson technique and placement of three 12 mm trocars, hepatomegaly was observed without finding an exit site for purulent material, it was punctured through liver segment V, and 2000 ml of citrine fluid was extracted. The hepatic wound is addressed with a 1-0 caliber chromic catgut thread, placing a Penrose-type drain. At 48 hours postoperatively, it evolves favorably, so it is decided to discharge. Hepatic cysts are fluid-filled cavities lined by a single-layered cuboidal or columnar biliary epithelium in the liver. A majority of hepatic cysts are found incidentally on liver imaging, such as abdominal ultrasonography, computed tomography, or magnetic resonance imaging.
