[Echoendoscopic ultrasound/fine needle aspiration of an hepatic cystadenoma].
The diagnosis of hepatic cystadenoma is difficult with the conventional radiologic imaging. When these hepatobiliary cystic tumors are located in the left liver, Echoendoscopic ultrasound/Fine needle aspiration can help in the diagnosis by showing high levels of cystic CEA and CA 19-9 in a mucinous fluid. Definitive histological evaluation is assessed by the examination of the operative specimen.
