title: Laparoscopic excision of an antenatally diagnosed large simple hepatic cyst in the newborn.
abstract: Non-parasitic hepatic cysts are rare in infants and children. Advances in antenatal imaging have improved their detection, while development of laparoscopic techniques has expanded options for treatment. We present a case of an antenatally diagnosed non-parasitic hepatic cyst in a neonate, which was successfully excised laparoscopically with no recurrence.
