  • Title: Ciliated hepatic foregut cyst: a rare cystic liver lesion.
    Author: Shaw JM, Krige JE, Beningfield SJ, Locketz ML.
    Journal: J Gastrointest Surg; 2008 Jul; 12(7):1304-6. PubMed ID: 17963013.
    Abstract:
    Ciliated hepatic foregut cysts are an unusual congenital cause of cystic liver lesions. Although most are benign, 4.4% of reported cases have been shown to harbor squamous cell carcinoma. Diagnostic uncertainty or misdiagnosis frequently results in surgical exploration. We present a case of a ciliated hepatic foregut cyst and review this uncommon condition.
