title: Polycystic hepatic disease.
abstract: Polycystic hepatic disease is a very rare hereditary disease. Most of the patients have no symptoms but sometimes they present abdominal discomfort, fever, jaundice. Almost half of the patients associate renal cysts. Rarely, the cysts may appear in other organs such as the pancreas, the spleen or the lung. We present a case of polycystic hepatic disease. In our patient the cysts replace almost the entire hepatic structure. However, the hepatic functional tests were normal.
