- An 11-year-old FS Golden Retriever was presented for re-evaluation of a hepatic cyst that was originally diagnosed approx. 6 months prior, and rechecked 3 months prior with not much change.
- At today’s scan the cyst was shown as much larger than before.

This is my first time scanning a hepatic cyst and it was a lot to take in visually. 
It did not uptake power doppler.
Dx was: A right medial, complex liver cyst. This is likely a benign cyst with fluid accumulation. 80-90% of the mass was occupied with fluid. Possible biliary carcinoma. It appeared resectable. Deviated gastrointestinal tract.
Had to post due to coolness factor.

As the cyst is getting bigger
As the cyst is getting bigger would be an idea to explore surgically – resect if possible or marsupilize if not. Alternatively can drain under US guidance but generally will reform in short period of time.

Create a large opening/window
Create a large opening/window in the cyst so that the fluids drains into the abdominal cavity were it is absorbed by the omentum.
