Rx:

• No medical treatment available all surgical treatment 

1.Percutaneous aspiration. Healthcare providers use ultrasound or CT imaging to insert needles or catheters into liver cysts and drain the cysts’ fluid.

2.Cyst fenestration. This surgery treats large cysts by removing the cyst’s wall.

3.Hepatic resection. This surgery removes areas of the liver affected by cysts.

4.Transarterial embolization (TACE). 

• This treatment works the same way you might build a dam in a stream to stop the stream from flowing. Healthcare providers inject anti-cancer drugs into one of your arteries that supplies blood to your liver. Then, they inject a substance to block the artery. The substances act as a dam, keeping the anti-cancer drug swirling around the tumor instead of floating away.

5.Surgery. To remove benign or cancerous cysts.

6.Liver transplantation. This surgery treats polycystic liver disease that doesn’t respond to medication and/or surgeries to remove liver cysts.
