A case of peribiliary hepatic cysts in a cirrhotic liver: A mimicker of Klatskin Tumor

Patients with end-stage liver disease may present to healthcare facilities with features of obstructive jaundice and a picture of hilar cholangiocarcinoma on radiological imaging. Careful observation and knowledge of the presence and higher prevalence of peribiliary hepatic cysts in a cirrhotic liver can aid in differentiating this benign entity from malignancy that may halt or delay the patients’ eligibility for receiving a liver transplant. We present a case of a patient with liver cirrhosis initially diagnosed as Klatskin tumor on imaging then as a simple case of multiple peribiliary hepatic cysts with the patient eventually undergoing successful liver transplantation.
