Abstract
Ciliated hepatic cyst (CHRC) is a rare, benign hepatic lesion characterized by a pseudostratified ciliated epithelium, distinct from intrahepatic bile ducts. First described in 1984, fewer than 80 cases have been reported. These cysts are often asymptomatic and discovered incidentally during imaging. Radiologically, they can mimic other hepatic lesions, making diagnosis challenging. In this case, a 60-year-old male with right iliac fossa pain was found to have a cyst in segment VIb. MRI suggested a benign lesion, and histopathological analysis after surgical resection confirmed CHRC. Given its potential for malignant transformation, surgical resection is recommended even in the absence of clear signs of progression.
