Item Mucinous cystic neoplasms of the liver: presence of biliary communication(Oxford University Press, 2019-12) Rodriguez, Robert M.; Barrio, Martin; Parker, Mitch L.; Saeed, Omer; Sherman, Stuart; Ceppa, Eugene P.; Surgery, School of MedicineA 35-year-old woman was referred for a symptomatic liver mass. Diagnostic workup detected a septated cyst located centrally in the liver measuring 10 × 7 cm. The cyst had gradually increased in size from previous studies with new intrahepatic biliary dilation. Due to concern for malignancy and symptomatic presentation of the patient, a partial central hepatectomy was performed. Pathology revealed a smooth-walled, multiloculated cyst lined with mucinous epithelium and ovarian-type stroma. The diagnosis of low-grade mucinous cystic neoplasm of the liver (MCN-L) was made. Characteristics of MCN-L have not been elucidated due to its rarity.
