Summary

Cystic diseases of the liver and biliary tract are comprised of a heterogeneous group of disorders. The pathogenesis, clinical presentation, histological description, and radiographic appearance of several less common conditions, including biliary hamartomas, ciliated hepatic foregut cysts, cavernous hemangiomas, peliosis hepatis, and peribiliary cysts, will be discussed here.
