Article Abstract
Herein, we report a case of a man with a large symptomatic hepatic cyst that gradually enlarged over a follow-up period of 15 years, which eventually caused epigastric fullness and obstructive jaundice. The patient underwent percutaneous cystic drainage followed by sclerotherapy using minocycline hydrochloride combined with intracystic lavage. The treatment resulted in a significant reduction in the hepatic cyst size, symptom improvement, and absence of recurrence for 670 days.
