  • Title: Ciliated hepatic foregut cysts in children.
    Author: Zaydfudim V, Rosen MJ, Gillis LA, Correa H, Lovvorn HN, Pinson CW, Kelly BS.
    Journal: Pediatr Surg Int; 2010 Jul; 26(7):753-7. PubMed ID: 19760201.
    Abstract:
    Ciliated hepatic foregut cyst (CHFC) is a rare foregut developmental malformation usually diagnosed in adulthood; however, rare cases have been reported in the pediatric population. CHFC can transform into a squamous cell carcinoma resulting in death despite surgical resection of the isolated malignancy. We report the presentation, evaluation, and surgical management of a symptomatic 17-year-old girl found to have a 6.5 x 4.5 cm CHFC and suggest that all patients with suspected CHFC undergo prompt evaluation and complete cyst excision.
