“…1 Only a few cases of neonatal liver cyst are reported in the literature. [2][3][4][5][6][7][8] They account for 10% of benign hepatic lesions in children. 9 On reviewing the literature, Edward R. Howard reviewed 400 cases of liver cyst and only 12 of these cases had been diagnosed in children under 2 years of age.…”

Congenital liver cysts are uncommon lesions, which are being recognized with the increasing use of antenatal ultrasound. In this paper, we report a case of an antenatally diagnosed solitary simple liver cyst managed by laparoscopic deroofing. Laparoscopy confirmed the diagnosis and gave information about the relation of the cyst with the liver and portal structures. Laparoscopic deroofing is a safe, effective means of management of the liver cyst in pediatric patients.
