ABSTRACT
Background: The simple liver cysts are a low frequency entity in the
general population, being mostly asymptomatic and arising in an exceptional
way with symptoms associated with complications.
Clinical case: 82 years old female admitted with diagnostic of giant
simple cyst located in the right lobe of the liver, a week later she came
back subsequent to fall of its own plane with data of acute abdomen and
broken liver cyst towards peritoneal cavity and intracystic hemorrhage.
The incidence has been estimated at 2-7%, most frequently in women 4:1, predominance in right lobe and fourth- fifth decades of life. The
complications of liver cysts are uncommon. The spontaneous rupture
is an extremely rare complication and may be preceded by intracystic
hemorrhage which increases intracystic pressure. The published series
report the spontaneous rupture as the more frequent, we found only a
report of rupture secondary to trauma. Hemorrhage is the complication
that traditionally has been considered the least common, which can
be intracystic or free to the peritoneal cavity. The management of these
complications is usually done with urgent surgical treatment although
there are reports of rupture and intracystic hemorrhage that have been
managed conservatively.
Conclusion: The giant liver cyst even those asymptomatic, should be
handled with an early surgery because of the high risk of complications.
