Simple cysts are common benign lesions of the liver. Treatment is reserved for symptomatic patients. Current management includes percutaneous aspiration with instillation of sclerosing agents, wide excision or unroofing, or fenestration of the cyst wall (> 50%) either by open or laparoscopic surgery. Total excision of the cyst wall is infrequently mentioned. The authors report a case of a large, recurrent simple cyst of the liver that was successfully treated by total excision.
