  • Title: [Obstructive jaundice from benign hepatic cysts].
    Author: Kuraoka S, Yamagiwa I, Nagae N, Washio M.
    Journal: Nihon Geka Gakkai Zasshi; 1990 Feb; 91(2):287-9. PubMed ID: 2325614.
    Abstract:
    Obstructive jaundice secondary to benign, non-parasitic hepatic cysts is rare, since there are only 19 previously reported cases. We reported a case of polycystic disease of the liver and kidneys in which relief of developing jaundice was obtained by hepatic lobectomy and fenestration procedure for the multiple cysts. Immense occupancy and porta hepatis proximity of the cysts were triggers for developing jaundice. Urgent resection of the major cysts is recommended for extremely progressing jaundice.
