Abstract
- Cystic hepatocellular carcinoma is unusal, and visualization of the cystic components within hepatic mass lesion have suggested that the lesions were metastatic tumors, primary cystic tumors such as biliary cystadenocarcinoma or cystic papillary cholangiocarcinoma. Although hepatic lesions can be well characterized by noninvasive imaging modalities, findings are often nonspecific. Even for cystic hepatic lesions a considerable diagnostic differential exists. The diagnosis of cystic hepatocellular carcinoma was difficult before the microscopic examination of the biopsy speciemen because of very rare. Then we report an unusual of cystic hepatocellular carcinoma without liver cirrhosis.
