Simple hepatic cysts are one of the most common benign lesions in the liver. Despite being frequently asymptomatic, if they reach large sizes in certain anatomical locations, they can appear under atypical symptomatology and cause significant morbidity. We present the case of a giant simple liver cyst as an exceptional cause of right-sided heart failure. Laparoscopic deroofing of the cyst achieved an outstanding improvement of the patient´s cardiac condition. A high diagnostic suspicion, a multidisciplinary approach and adequate treatment are essential for a favourable outcome.

A reader of the peer-reviewed neuroscience literature will often encounter expressions like the following: 'the brain is a dynamic system', 'the brain is a complex network', or 'the brain is a highly metabolic organ'. These expressions attempt to define the essential functions and properties of the mammalian or human brain in a simple phrase or sentence, sometimes using metaphors or analogies. We sought to survey the most common phrases of the form 'the brain is…' in the biomedical literature to provide insights into current conceptualizations of the brain.
