A CASE OF SOLITARY LIVER CYST WITH MARKED PEDUNCULAR MOBILITY

Abstract

A 56-year-old woman with solitary liver cyst was reported. Without any complaints, she consulted our hospital for further examination of slight elevation of serum LDH level, which was noticed by conventional screening tests. Physical examination revealed abdorr final tumor which moved easily and showed cystic appearance on abdominal echogram and CT scanning. However we could not clarify the origin of this cystic tumor, cystectomy was performed to avoid the possible complications, such as infection, bleeding, rupture or torsion. Postoperatively it was explained that the cyst was originated from liver and was peduculated and therefore this tumor would easily moved on palpation. Elevation of serum LDH level has been continuing after cystectomy and the elevation of LDH level seems to be not related to the solitary liver cyst.
