Polycystic liver disease is a rare condition that causes cysts to grow throughout the liver.
This patient presented with upper abdominal pain. An abdominal ultrasound was arranged and showed a large number of cysts in the liver. Subsequent CT scan demonstrates multiple cysts of varying sizes, predominantly involving the left lobe of the liver. This patient also had multiple cysts in both kidneys.
These are the appearances of polycystic liver disease. As the patient was very symptomatic, a left hemihepatectomy was performed. The resected left lobe is shown here, and correlates nicely with the CT image above it.
