Ciliated hepatic foregut cysts: US, CT, and contrast-enhanced MR imaging.
Hepatic foregut cysts are uncommon lesions of the liver. In this report we prospectively examined two patients by means of computed tomography (CT), ultrasound, and contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging. Ciliated hepatic foregut cysts were subsequently demonstrated in both patients following CT-guided biopsy. Magnetic resonance imaging was found to be useful in differentiating these cysts from other lesions.
