Ecographic epidemiology of non-parasitic hepatic cysts

J Clin Ultrasound. 1993 Feb;21(2):115-8. doi: 10.1002/jcu.1870210207.

Abstract

An analysis of the epidemiology of non-parasitic hepatic cysts (NPHCs) has been carried out comparing these data with those of the current literature. This sample shows an incidence of 4.65%, which is greater than those reported by other authors. No difference between the two sexes was seen, but a very high incidence above 40 years of age was found.
