Abstract

A 75-year-old woman who had been given a diagnosis of a giant liver cyst occupying the right hepatic lobe was admitted to our hospital complaining of abdominal pain. CT examination revealed the size of cyst was smaller than before and the level of CRP was elevated, suggesting the development of peritonitis due to rupture of the cyst. As Candida albicans was detected from both ascites and the cyst, we treated her with continuous percutaneous transhepatic drainage and antimycotic agents. The cyst markedly diminished, and she became free of infection and peritonitis, suggesting drainage was exceedingly effective.
