| Core Tip |
Ciliated hepatic foregut cyst (CHFC) is a rare foregut developmental malformation usually diagnosed mostly in adulthood. 5.0% of reported cases CHFC transformed into a squamous cell carcinoma. We report the presentation, evaluation, and surgical management of a symptomatic 45-year-old man found to have a 6.2 cm CHFC diagnosed by intracystic columnar, ciliated epithelium. We report for the first time highly extreme intracystic level of CA19-9 and CEA (not determined in previuos studies) and no atypia. A large size multilocularity cyst and elevated cyst CA 19-9 and CEA level do not exclude ciliated hepatic foregut cysts from diagnostic consideration. Given its potential malignant transformation surgical excision is recommended. |
