A CT scan found a large 14x13x12 cm cystic lesion in the right lobe of the liver that was suggestive of a biliary cystadenoma or cystadenocarcinoma. The cyst had thick walls, internal septations, and mural nodularity with enhancement, as well as a focal papillary excrescence. The liver was enlarged by the cyst but otherwise normal. The spleen, pancreas, kidneys, uterus and bladder appeared normal on the scan, with no masses, cysts, or other abnormalities detected. The radiologist's opinion was that the images were highly suggestive of biliary cystadenoma but could also suggest cystadenocarcinoma.

CT PELVI-ABDOMEN, Contiguous axial cuts were obtained
through the abdomen and pelvis with oral & IV contrast and revealed: A huge 14 x 13 x 12 cm well defined smooth regular outline cystic lesion involving most of the right lobe of the liver with mass effect on the surrounding liver parenchyma and the cyst has a close relation to the gall bladder with minimaly dilated intra hepatic biliary radicle mainly on the left lobe The cyst show characters suggesting of biliary cystadenoma / cystadenocarcinoma )on the frm of well-defined thick fibrous capsule measuring 4 mm , internal septations measuring 3-5 mm , and mural nodularity measuring 9 x 5 mm which show enhancement after contrast injection with focal papillary excrescence on the lower part of the cyst The liver appears enlarged in size by the cyst with the rest of the liver parenchyma displaying homogeneous parenchymal density. The spleen appears average in size displaying normal homogeneous CT density. No evidences of splenic masses or cysts were detected. The pancreas: appears average in size displaying normal CT density. No evidences of pncreatic masses or cysts were detected. The gall bladder appears average in size displaying normal wall enhancement. No evidences of intra-luminal calculi or masses were detected. Both kidneys appear average in size displaying normal function & parenchymal enhancement. No evidences of renal masses, stones, cysts or back pressure changes were detected. Uterus: average size ,homogenous echopattern,no focal lesions ,no ednexial masses with no fluid on cul de sac. Normal CT features of the bladder . No evidences of lymphadenopathy were detected. No ascites. Opinion picture highly suggestive of biliary cystadenoma less suggesting biliary cystadenocarcinoma for clinical correlation and further assessment if clinicaly indicated Thanks,
