Atypical MRI features of a biliary cystadenoma revealed by jaundice

We report on the case of a patient admitted for epigastric pain. An abdominal ultrasound revealed a voluminous cystic lesion of the left hepatic lobe. In magnetic resonance imaging, the mass had a liquid–liquid level that was spontaneously hyperintense on T 1-weighted images and hypointense on T 2-w...

Zusammenfassung:	We report on the case of a patient admitted for epigastric pain. An abdominal ultrasound revealed a voluminous cystic lesion of the left hepatic lobe. In magnetic resonance imaging, the mass had a liquid–liquid level that was spontaneously hyperintense on T 1-weighted images and hypointense on T 2-weighted images. Magnetic resonance cholangiography identified bilateral intrahepatic bile duct dilatation. A left hepatectomy finally revealed a mucinous cystadenoma with pseudo-ovarian stroma that had a pedunculated intraductal extension to the biliary convergence.
