title: Hemorrhagic liver cyst.
abstract: BACKGROUND
  Simple cysts of the liver are usually discovered incidentally on abdominal imaging, and asymptomatic simple cysts do not require treatment regardless of size.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  We report a case of a symptomatic simple cyst of the liver complicated by intracystic hemorrhage for which a partial hepatectomy was performed. Treatment of simple hepatic cysts is indicated in the presence of associated symptoms or complications, and inability to exclude a cystic neoplasm requires operative intervention.
