Something I don't see every day! Ciliated hepatic foregut cyst:
🔶 Arise from embryonic foregut
🔶 Segment 4 of liver
🔶 4 layers (1. Ciliated columnar epithelium, can have goblet cells 2. Smooth muscle 3. Connective tissue 4. Fibrous capsule) #liverpath https://t.co/uzAC6Mdrb9

A rare cause of end stage liver disease as a distraction from #COVID19! Notice the markedly dilated ducts with golden-yellow inspissated bile! Caroli disease: only macroscopic cysts no fibrosis. Caroli syndrome: with congenital fibrosis. autosomal recessive disorder. #LiverPath
