Abstract
Congenital liver cysts are a rare pathology, however, due to the modern availability of visual diagnostic methods, primarily ultrasound, cases of their detection have become more frequent. Children in whom a cystic liver formation was detected during antenatal ultrasound screening should be observed dynamically after birth with laboratory and instrumental examination methods, and the issue of the timing of surgical intervention should be decided. Differential diagnostics of congenital liver cysts with other cystic lesions of the abdominal organs can be difficult even when several visual examination methods are used. In our clinical observations, based on the data of instrumental studies, the diagnosis of a congenital choledochal cyst seemed most likely, however, an isolated liver cyst with its morphological verification was diagnosed intraoperatively.
Conclusions. Congenital liver cysts are a rare pathology, which is now increasingly detected antenatally, which allows for timely excision of the cyst, preventing possible complications and malignancy.
