“…Open or laparoscopic fenestration (“unroofing”) is the first-line treatment to drain an HSC in the peritoneal cavity [ 7 , 44 ], resulting in symptom reduction in 92% of cases [ 3 , 45 ]. Laparoscopic fenestration combined with marsupialization appeared to be safe and effective in patients with HSCs measuring >15 cm in diameter [ 46 ], with a single recurrence recorded during 41 months of follow up. Endoscopic transgastric cyst drainage [ 47 ] is an attractive treatment option, eliminating the need for incisions.…”

Cystic liver disease has been increasingly reported in the literature, with a prevalence as high as 15-18%. Hepatic cysts are usually discovered incidentally, while their characterization and classification rely on improved imaging modalities. Complex cystic liver lesions comprise a wide variety of novel, re-introduced, and re-classified clinical entities. This spectrum of disorders ranges from non-neoplastic conditions to benign and malignant tumors. Their clinicopathological features, prognostic factors, and oncogenic pathways are incompletely understood. Despite representing a heterogeneous group of disorders, they can have similar clinical and imaging characteristics. As a result, the diagnosis and management of complex liver cysts can become quite challenging. Furthermore, inappropriate diagnosis and management can lead to high morbidity and mortality. In this review, we aim to offer up-to-date insight into the diagnosis, classification, and management of the most common complex cystic liver lesions.

“…Early diagnosis and treatment for such conditions is desirable, because the risks of thrombus formation within the IVC, rupture of the cyst and infection increase with age. 4,5 These complications worsen the physical and mental condition, and decrease ADL in elderly patients. This patient's physical activity and performance before the onset of leg edema was impaired because of the sequelae of cerebral infarction.…”
