Intrahepatic biliary cystadenoma, a challenging diagnosis and management: A case report.
Article in International journal of surgery case reports, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
introduction and importanceBiliary cystadenoma (BC) is a benign hepatic cystic tumor with degenerative potential. Hepatic MRI can help guide the diagnosis. Surgical resection is recommended due to the malignant potential of biliary cystadenomas. Only anatomopathological examination of the surgical specimen can establish the definitive diagnosis of BC. The objective of this case report is to enhance our understanding of this disease and contribute to precise diagnosis for optimal management. CASE PRESENTATION: A 55-year-old woman with a history of hypertension and atrial fibrillation presented to the surgery department with paroxysmal right hypochondrial pain. Ultrasonography (US), computed tomography (CT), and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed a large septated cystic lesion occupying segments II, III, and IV of the liver. The patient underwent left hepatectomy without incident. The postoperative course was marked by a deep collection opposite the sectional area, which was successfully treated with antibiotics and radiological drainage. The pathological diagnosis confirmed BC without signs of malignancy, and no recurrence was detected post-surgery. CLINICAL DISCUSSION: The rarity of BC, the absence of specific clinical signs and its potential for malignant transformation, underline the need for sophisticated imaging techniques. However, preoperative radiological diagnosis does not exceed 50 %. The operative decision requires a multidisciplinary discussion between radiologists and surgeons. This case highlights the unavailability of radical surgical treatment in cases of strong preoperative suspicion of BC. The cooperation of the pathologist in the histological diagnosis is crucial.
conclusionThe diagnosis of BC should be considered in cases of multilocular cystic lesions in the liver, particularly in instances of recurrent cysts. Imaging aids in both positive and differential diagnoses. Complete resection is the recommended treatment for any suspected BC.
