title: [Benign non-parasitic hepatic cystic tumours].
abstract: Hepatic cystic tumours are a heterogeneous group of diseases with different aetiology and incidence, and with similar clinical signs and symptoms. They are classified as congenital, traumatic, parasitic, or neoplastic cysts. The congenital cystic tumours are the most prevalent, and include the simple cyst and polycystic hepatic disease. Other less common lesions are, hepatic cystadenoma, ciliated embryonic cyst, and a miscellaneous group. We have carried out a review of all benign non-parasitic hepatic cystic tumours, placing special emphasis on therapeutic strategies.
