Resumen

Se presenta el caso de un paciente de 42 años de edad con una gran lesión quística hepática que simulaba un quiste hidatídico. Se practicó una quistectomía subtotal, pero la enfermedad recidivó a los 13 meses de la intervención quirúrgica, por lo que se procedió a una segunda laparotomía y quistectomía total. El diagnóstico histopatológico fue de quiste epidermoide hepático. El diagnóstico diferencial de los quistes epidermoides del hígado es amplio y generalmente sólo se obtiene el diagnóstico definitivo tras el examen patológico de la pieza operatoria. Debido a esto y a su potencial de degeneración neoplásica se debe intentar la resección completa de la lesión hepática.

We present the case of a 42-year-old male patient with a large hepatic cyst, simulating a hydatid cyst. Subtotal cystectomy was performed. Thirteen months after this procedure the patient relapsed and a second laparotomy and total cystectomy were performed. A histopathological diagnosis of epidermoid cyst of the liver was made. The differential diagnosis of epidermoid cysts of the liver is broad and definitive diagnosis is usually only obtained after pathological examination of the surgical specimen. For this reason, and because of the potential for neoplasia, complete resection of the hepatic lesion should be attempted.
