Abstract
Cyst fluid from a patient with polycystic liver disease was obtained by needle aspiration using ultrasound guidance. The constituents of the fluid resembled the “bile salt–independent” fraction of human bile and supports the hypothesis that such cysts are lined by a functioning, secretory bile duct epithelium.This publication has 17 references indexed in Scilit:
