“…A few MRI findings of hepatic UES have been described [4,25,52,53]. Typical MRI findings of hepatic UES are a discordant cystic appearance due to the high water content of the myxoid stroma, large portions of which are hypointense on T1-weighted images, and high signal intensity on T2-weighted images.…”

Primary hepatic sarcomas are rare tumors that are difficult to diagnose clinically. Different primary hepatic sarcomas may have different clinical, morphologic, and radiological features. In this pictorial review, we summarized computed tomography (CT) findings of some relatively common types of hepatic sarcomas, including angiosarcoma, epithelioid hemangioendothelioma (EHE), liposarcoma, undifferentiated embryonal sarcoma (UES), leiomyosarcoma, malignant fibrous histiocytoma (MFH), and carcinosarcoma (including cystadenocarcinosarcoma). To our knowledge, hepatic cystadenocarcinosarcoma has not been described in the English literature. The CT findings in our case are similar to that of cystadenocarcinoma, a huge, multilocular cystic mass with a large mural nodule and solid portion. The advent of CT has allowed earlier detection of primary hepatic sarcomas as well as more accurate diagnosis and characterization. In addition, we briefly discuss the MRI findings and diagnostic value of primary hepatic sarcomas.

“…The weight of evidence therefore favours laparoscopic deroofing as the treatment of choice in the management of simple hepatic cyst. There may, however, be a role for open resection as a second-line procedure where initial laparoscopic deroofing has been unsuccessful, where there are perioperative/postoperative complications following laparoscopic intervention requiring open surgery or potentially in the small cohort of patients in whom the multitude or location of simple cysts renders laparoscopic deroofing unsuitable 4 5…”

A fit and well 4-year-old girl presented with a 1-year history of abdominal distension, pain and vomiting with signs of non-shifting dullness on the right side of the abdomen. An abdominal CT revealed a 19 cm epigastric cyst that did not appear to connect to any solid organ and was therefore thought to represent a mesenteric cyst. However, laparotomy revealed that the cyst was arising from the liver. The cyst was resected and subsequent histology revealed a simple hepatic cyst. The patient has been well post-operation. The case represents the largest described simple hepatic cyst in the 0-16 years paediatric age group in Europe to date. We outline the epidemiology, embryology, key investigations and management options for these lesions.
