Abstract

Some of the non-parasitic cystic lesions of the liver are benign, small and asymptomatic lesions. They are often detected accidentally. In particular, the spread and increase of imaging methods led to an increase in coincidental findings and incidences of these lesions. Only 16% of cases are symptomatic. Symptoms are directly related to the size of the cyst or the pressure on the surrounding tissues. Abdominal pain and distension are the most common symptoms and occur in approximately 50% of cases. For asymptomatic cases, no treatment is required. In contrast, large, symptomatic and neoplastic cysts require treatment. In our study, we wanted to present two simple epithelial liver cyst cases that refer to our clinic with complications.
