Ecographic epidemiology of non-parasitic hepatic cysts.
An analysis of the epidemiology of non-parasitic hepatic cysts (NPHCs) has been carried out comparing these data with those of the current literature. This sample shows an incidence of 4.65%, which is greater than those reported by other authors. No difference between the two sexes was seen, but a very high incidence above 40 years of age was found.
