                            <p>This study addresses congenital polycystic disease of the liver, a rare anomaly often associated with polycystic conditions in other organs such as the kidneys, pancreas, and spleen. Over 600 cases have been reported worldwide. A 45-year-old patient diagnosed during laparotomy is presented, with the liver exhibiting numerous cysts of varying sizes, histopathologically confirmed to originate from bile ducts. Clinical findings and laboratory tests were insufficient for diagnosis, which was ultimately confirmed surgically. Although no specific treatment exists, cases are typically asymptomatic or present with complications. This case represents one of the first surgically diagnosed and published examples in our country.</p></trans-abstract>

Hastalık, genellikle böbrek, pankreas ve dalak gibi diğer organların polikistik hastalıklarıyla birlikte görülmekte ve dünya literatüründe şimdiye kadar 600&#039;den fazla vaka bildirilmiştir. Çalışmada, 45 yaşındaki bir hastada laparotomi sırasında teşhis edilen bir vaka sunulmuştur. Hastada karaciğerde irili ufaklı çok sayıda kist tespit edilmiş ve histopatolojik inceleme sonucunda safra kanalı kökenli oldukları belirlenmiştir. Klinik bulgular ve laboratuvar testleri teşhis için yetersiz kalmış, kesin tanı cerrahi müdahale ile konulmuştur. Hastalığın bilinen bir tedavisi olmamakla birlikte, vakalar genellikle asemptomatik seyretmekte veya komplikasyonlara bağlı olarak ortaya çıkmaktadır. Bu vaka, ülkemizde cerrahi yolla teşhis edilen ve yayınlanan ilk örneklerden birini oluşturmaktadır.</p></abstract>
