# Undiagnosed Symptomatic Hepatic Duplication Cysts and Bilateral Renal Cysts in a 75-Year-Old Female: A Case Report

## TL;DR

A 75-year-old woman with rare liver and kidney cysts highlights the importance of diagnosing uncommon conditions in adults.

## Contribution

This case report presents a rare instance of hepatic duplication cysts and bilateral renal cysts in an elderly patient.

## Key findings

- Hepatic duplication cysts were diagnosed in a 75-year-old female using abdominal CT imaging.
- The patient also had bilateral renal cysts, a rare co-occurrence with hepatic duplication cysts.
- The case underscores the need for awareness of rare pathologies in adult patients.

## Abstract

Hepatic duplication cysts are rare congenital malformations resulting in cystic structures within the liver. These lesions are typically diagnosed in pediatric patients and are often asymptomatic. We present the case of a 75-year-old female patient who presented to the emergency department with diffuse abdominal pain. Examination revealed a palpable abdominal mass. Imaging included a CT scan of the abdomen, which revealed multiple hepatic duplication cysts and bilateral renal cysts. This case emphasizes the importance of recognizing rare pathologies such as hepatic duplication cysts, particularly in adult patients. This rare case of co-occurring hepatic duplication cysts and renal cysts may enhance understanding of the clinical presentation, diagnosis, and management of hepatic duplication cysts.
