A 72 year-old Japanese woman with cilated hepatic foregut cyst was reported. She had been followed up for chronic hepatitis. In October 1989, ultrasonogram revealed SOL in liver and she was admitted to Kanazawa National Hospital. Computed Tomography revealed 3 cm-sized HCC nodule in the S8 and small cystic lesion just under the Glisson's capsule in the S4 of liver. Partial hepatectomy (S4, 5, 8) was performed for HCC and the cystic lesion was also removed. Grossly, the cyst was 1.8cm-sized, unilocular and located just under the Glisson's capsule. Histologically, the lining epithelium of the cyst was pseudostratified ciliated cells and mucous cells. The cyst wall contained smooth muscle layer characteristically. The cyst was diagnosed as ciliated hepatic foregut cyst.
