Abstract

Hepatic endometriosis is a rare cause of complex hepatic cyst. We describe its typical imaging features. Diagnosis can be suggested at imaging but histological confirmation is required. The treatment of suspected endometriotic cyst of the liver is surgical, and percutaneous management is contraindicated.
