Non parasitic hepatic cysts are a clinical entity that is often associated with polycystic kidney disease. We report the case of a 75 year-old woman who presented with symptomatic but non complicated polycystic liver disease. The treatment consisted of laparoscopic fenestration of a large simple cyst located in the left hepatic lobe. The postoperative course was uneventful and the patient remains free of symptoms at 18-months follow-up. Selected patients with symptomatic but uncomplicated polycystic liver disease and favourable anatomy benefit from laparoscopic fenestration of the cysts with low morbidity and hospital stay

Abstract
Non parasitic hepatic cysts are a clinical entity that is often associated with polycystic kidney disease. We report the case of a 75 year-old woman who presented with symptomatic but non complicated polycystic liver disease. The treatment consisted of laparoscopic fenestration of a large simple cyst located in the left hepatic lobe. The postoperative course was uneventful and the patient remains free of symptoms at 18-months follow-up. Selected patients with symptomatic but uncomplicated polycystic liver disease and favourable anatomy benefit from laparoscopic fenestration of the cysts with low morbidity and hospital stayPubblicazioni consigliate
