Progressive hepatic cyst

Sonopath Forum

Progressive hepatic cyst

  • 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.
