Abstract
Ciliated hepatic foregut cyst (CHFC) is a congenital cystic lesion of the liver derived from the embryonic foregut epithelium. Although usually asymptomatic, some present with non-specific abdominal symptoms. CHFC should be investigated thoroughly since they carry a risk of malignant transformation into squamous carcinoma, and to rule out other possible differential diagnoses. Owing to the variable imaging features, histological confirmation remains crucial. We present the case of a CHFC as well as a comprehensive literature review. Awareness of its imaging features is essential to include CHFC in the differential diagnosis and guide appropriate management.
