We present a case of a 49-year-old woman with a single hepatic symptomatic cyst. We performed US and CT examinations for correct diagnostic purposes and we approached it with a 18 G Chiba neddle. There after a 6 F "pig tail" catheter was inserted using Seldinger's method and after performing a cystography 95% ethilic alcohol was instilled within a 48 hs period. The third day the patient was discharged with no complication. The control examination revealed no cyst what suever four months later.
