Abstract
We describe a patient with diffuse polycystic disease of the liver. The patient's polycystic liver disease was found to be due to liver metastases from squamous cell carcinoma of the uterine cervix. No evidence of discrete masses was found in the liver using abdominal CT scan. Pseudocystic formation in the liver secondary to squamous cell carcinoma is very rare and has not previously been reported as a first presentation of a cervical cancer. Metastatic neoplasms need to be considered in the differential diagnosis of hepatic cysts.Entities:
