    Abstract:
    Here we report a rare case of simple hepatic cysts causing dilatation of the intrahepatic bile duct. A 75-year old female was admitted to Kyushu University Hospital because of liver dysfunction. Ultrasonogram and CT scan showed two neighboring cysts in the liver (S2, S4), and dilatation of the peripheral bile duct in left lateral segment of the liver. Echo-guided percutaneous aspiration of cyst fluid showed the elevated levels of CA19-9, but malignant cell were not seen. These findings suggested that the compression by these neighboring simple hepatic cysts caused the stenosis of the bile duct. The dilatation of the bile duct disappeared after the percutaneous ethanol sclerosing therapy for cyst.
