Ciliated Hepatic Foregut Cyst: A Report of a Case Incidentally Discovered during Transplant Evaluation

Year: 2019

Type: article

Abstract: Ciliated hepatic foregut cyst (CHFC) is a rare benign cyst of the liver derived from an embryonic remnant of foregut epithelium. CHFC is typically asymptomatic and is found incidentally. Recent reports of malignant transformation may warrant surgical removal of CHFC. We present the case of a 54-year-old male who was discovered to have a CHFC while undergoing kidney transplant evaluation.
