Abstract
- Ciliated hepatic foregut cysts are an unusual congenital cause of cystic liver lesions. Although most are benign, 4.4% of reported cases have been shown to harbor squamous cell carcinoma. Diagnostic uncertainty or misdiagnosis frequently results in surgical exploration. We present a case of a ciliated hepatic foregut cyst and review this uncommon condition. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
