Symptomatic Liver Cyst Successfully Treated with Transgastric Drainage and Sclerotherapy Using Minocycline Hydrochloride

Figure 1

Ultrasonography revealed a giant cyst in the left lobe of the liver (a). The dimensions were 76 × 81 mm. No septa or mural nodules were observed. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) revealed that the liver cyst had replaced the left lobe. The left branch of the portal vein surrounded the hepatic side of the liver cyst (b) (arrowheads). Magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography showed that the liver cyst had no communication with the bile duct. There were no neoplastic findings indicating a simple liver cyst (c). On the CT scan after the test puncture (d), the gastric antrum (arrow) migrated to the ventral side of the liver cyst (arrowheads).
