CONGENITAL NON-PARASITIC LIVER CYSTS IN CHILDREN

Abstract

The study presents a discussion of the literature on congenital non-parasitic cysts of the liver known to date. Congenital non-parasitic cysts of the liver in children are rare. In children, the cysts are believed to be the unique reason for abdominal tumors. Although the majority of liver cysts in children are asymptomatic, some infants can have the symptoms in the prime of life frequently requiring urgent surgery. All the patients need a surgery to prevent complications and malignization of the cyst. The purpose of the surgery is to enucleate the cyst preventing a cancer recurrence. Minimally invasive surgery is used to treat hepatic cysts in children with ever-increasing frequency.
