Abstract: | We present herein the case of a 73-year-old woman with symptomatic liver cysts and cholelithiasis for whom successful deroofing of the liver cysts and cholecystectomy were performed via laparoscopy. Histopathological diagnosis of the resected cyst wall and direct observation of the inner surface of the remaining cyst wall confirmed that they were benign biliary cysts. The laparoscopic deroofing of liver cysts is therefore not only an effective means of treatment, but it also facilitates the establishment of an exact differential diagnosis. |
