Abstract

Ever since in 1856 when Michel reported the first case of hepatic cyst, much literature has been added on the solitary uncomplicated nonparacytic cystic disease of the liver. This distinct disease entity remains largely asymptomatic unless it presents by virtue of its size or complications. Intravenous pyelogram should be mandatory to rule out any associated renal pathology. Instead of resorting to surgery in all cases, placement of radiologically guided external dependent drainage catheter yields good results with excellent patient compliance as no general anesthesia or laparotomy is required. For cure, only a tube coming out of the abdomen is to be endured for 2-3 months.
