| Popis: | A case is reported in which a large solitary cystic lesion of the liver was present for more than two years before it was excised. During this period it was misdiagnosed and the patient was treated for ascites and then later for a pseudocyst of the pancreas. The first biopsy of the cyst was interpreted as showing a benign lesion, but at a later operation, biopsy showed cholangiocarcinoma and the lesion was excised by means of a right hepatic lobectomy. The patient is well and without apparent recurrence almost three years later. We believe that a tumor showing this sequence of changes has not been reported. In addition, cholangiocarcinoma that is cystic is very rare. |
