A 70-year-old woman was referred to our hospital for treatment of cholelithiasis. A giant liver cyst (6 cm in diameter) had been diagnosed three years earlier. On admission, she had low grade fever and hepatomegaly. High values were observed for WBC (9900/microliter), CRP (8.9 mg/dl), GPT (45 IU/l), ALP (1399 IU/l), gamma-GTP (333 IU/l) and LAP (249 IU/l). The diagnosis of infected liver cyst (8 cm in diameter) was made based on contrast-enhanced CT scan. Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreaticography showed no communication between the cyst and the intrahepatic bile duct. She was successfully managed with antibiotics and discharged without percutaneous aspiration the cyst. On abdominal CT scan 4 months after the discharge, the liver cyst had decreased dramatically in size (1 cm in diameter). The patient remains healthy without symptoms.
