Peribiliary cysts (PC) are dilatations of the extramural peribiliary glands, with a very characteristic imaging pattern in the contexts of hepatobiliary diseases, idiopathic portal hypertension, adult-type polycystic disease of the liver and kidneys, solitary nonparasitic cysts, and systemic infections. The clinical relevance of PC is related to the fact that their presence may indicate underlying pathologies (such as those mentioned above) and may be considered as a potential marker of liver disease progression. Although imaging findings are quite characteristic, recognizing their main differential diagnoses, including malignancies, can be challenging but are essential to avoiding diagnostic errors.

Biliary and peribiliary cystic lesions represent a diverse group of abnormalities, often discovered incidentally during imaging for unrelated conditions. These lesions, typically asymptomatic, necessitate precise imaging modalities to characterize their nature and determine subsequent clinical actions, such as follow-up imaging, biopsy, or surgical referral. The anatomic location of these cystic lesions, whether biliary or peribiliary, influences both diagnostic and prognostic outcomes.

Peribiliary cysts are an incidental finding in patients with advanced liver disease. They were found to be common in fibrocystic disorders such as autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease and polycystic liver disease, as well as cirrhotic livers. They result from obstruction-induced cystic dilatation of the peribiliary glands.

A man in his 60s had end-stage alcoholic cirrhosis. About six months before his death, hepatic peribiliary cysts (HPBC) rapidly increased, and he developed jaundice and liver failure. The pathological autopsy performed after his death revealed that his intrahepatic bile duct was pressured due to multiple cysts caused by HPBC, which resulted in liver failure.
