Figure 1. Imaging of the hepatic peribiliary cyst. (a) Ultrasound shows a multi-septated cyst measuring 33 mm in diameter at 23 months preoperatively. (b) The cyst measures 39 mm at 9 months preoperatively. (c) The cyst is 45 mm at 3 months preoperatively. (d) Computed tomography (CT) demonstrates a 45 mm multi-septated cyst predominantly within segment III with no calcification. (e) There is no contrast effect on contrast-enhanced CT, and (f) no bile duct traffic on drip infusion cholecystocholangiography CT. (g, h) Magnetic resonance imaging and magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography reveal cysts in close proximity to B3.
