Results of treatment of 378 patients with non-complicated non-parasitic hepatic cysts during the last 15 years are presented. Diagnostics was based on the developed algorithm of diagnostics and treatment of space-occupying lesions of liver. Therapeutic approach to non-parasitic hepatic cysts was defined on the basis of their sizes. At case of small cysts monitoring was carried out. During the period of supervision the authors didn't observe any complications. Increasing of the cyst sices was signed only in 7.94% of cases. Puncture and sclerotherapy under ultrasound control were carried out in medium cysts with 96.70% of efficacy. If the authors didn't deny the parasitic or tumorous nature of liver lesions carry out the surgical treatment, which was also considered to be indicated at case of sizcable enlargement of the non-parasitic hepatic cysts and inefficiency of mini-invasive treatment.
