Eur J Obstet Gynecol Reprod Biol. 2000 Jul;91(1):79-82. doi: 10.1016/s0301-2115(99)00230-4.

Abstract

Hepatic liver cysts are rare and few cases have been described in the literature. Initially, these cysts are detected by a prenatal ultrasound as abdominal, and consequently, the final diagnosis of hepatic cysts is done during the postnatal period. We present a case of a giant hepatic cyst found incidently during a routine ultrasound examination. The diagnosis and management of a fetal intraabdominal cyst is discussed.
