title: [Biliary cysts of the liver].
abstract: Biliary cysts of the liver do not communicate with the biliary tract. Eight of the 10 patients operated on were asymptomatic. The cysts were 3 to 30 cm in diameter. In 1 patient, ultrasonically guided drainage of the cyst was followed by recurrence of the lesion and pain. In another patient, a cholangiocarcinoma was discovered in the wall of the cyst. After resection of the protruding part of the cyst the pathological disorders subsided in all patients who were followed up for 6 months to 16 years.
