Abstract
Traumatic cysts of liver are amongst the less frequently known sequelae of liver trauma. The incidence of this entity is very low. We report a case of large posttraumatic liver cyst in a young adult female, who sustained blunt abdominal trauma 2 months back. The cyst was diagnosed by CECT Abdomen and was treated by hepatic resection(left lobe). The aim of presentation of this report is to highlight the fact that blunt trauma abdomen can result in such rare presentations which can lead to hepatic resection.Entities:
