Abstract
Total of 10 cases of nonparasitic cyst of the liver encountered during the past 20 years have been presented together with the 287 cases collected from the Japanese literature up to 1973 inclusive. The advent of the newer effective diagnostic procedures in recent years made it possible to establish preoperative diagnosis resulting in rapid increase of reported cases. Among them celiac and superior mesenteric angiography coupled with echotomography seem to be the most effective. Differentiation from hydatid cyst presents problems for which angiographic signs offer valuable clues. Total excision of the cyst has been advocated and accomplished successfully because of the relative ease of enucleation from the surrounding structures.
