A CT scan showed a cyst in the liver of 25 cm in diameter with calcification that had a large solid part invading the liver. A post-mortem pathological dissection showed multiple cysts, the largest of which was 25 cm in diameter. They had large solid parts with calcification invading the liver. There were widespread metastatic lesions. Microscopic examination showed t...Continue Reading
