ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT

We report a case of a large biliary cystadenoma occupying the entire peritoneal cavity, manifesting as an abdominal swelling for years and an elevation of CA 19.9 serum levels. Serum CA 19.9 levels fell to normal values after surgical excision. Recognition and management of this rare hepatic lesion is discussed.
