Abstract
- Despite the high prevalence of benign hepatic cysts, they rarely exhibit symptoms. Radiologic studies such as ultrasonography or computed tomography disclose these cysts incidentally. Occasionally, large cysts may compress organs next to them, resulting in accompanying symptoms in patients. Recently, some reports have shown that treatment with minocycline chloride instillation into the cyst, after aspiration of cystic fluid, produces good results. First, we instilled doxycycline into the cyst after aspiration of the cyst with a resultant decrease in size. We aspirated 25% of the cyst followed by instillation of minocycline chloride (200 mg in 10 ml of 2% lidocaine) into the recurrent cyst which became larger 45 days later. In the other case we succeeded in making the cyst decrease in 4 months with no recurrence by an instillation of minocycline chloride (500 mg in 10 ml of 2% lidocaine) following aspiration of 25% of the cyst. We report, with references, both cases in which we have succeeded.
