Core Tip

Core Tip: We report the first male case of biliary cystadenoma (BCA) in our hospital confirmed by pathology, review its clinical, imaging, and pathological features, and compare them to those of past cases. There are certain image features of BCA. The combined use of magnetic resonance imaging and magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography improves the rate of detection of BCA and facilitates the identification of hepatic cysts.
