Abstract:
Hepatobiliary cystadenomas are rare cystic neoplasms that often occur in middle aged women.The exact etiology of these tumors is unknown.Diagnosis is often delayed in these cases.However,misdiagnosis and inappropriate treatment may result in unfavorable outcome.We report a case of hepatobiliary cystadenoma with pleural effusion.We also review the literature and discuss the current diagnostic and treatment modalities.
