title: Prenatal diagnosis of a fetal abdominal cyst.
abstract: Hepatic liver cysts are rare and few cases have been described in the literature. Initially, these cysts are detected by a prenatal ultrasound as abdominal, and consequently, the final diagnosis of hepatic cysts is done during the postnatal period. We present a case of a giant hepatic cyst found incidently during a routine ultrasound examination. The diagnosis and management of a fetal intraabdominal cyst is discussed.
