Abstract

Biliary cystadenomas (BCA) are a group of rare cystic tumors of the biliary ductal system, accounting for less than 5% of the non-parasitic cysts of the liver. Though benign, malignant transformation is as high as 20%. We present two case series of biliary cystadenomas — serous and mucinous. Both patients underwent enucleation of the cysts with good recovery and no recurrence in follow-up.
