Abstract: Cystic hepatic neoplasms are rare tumors, and are classified into two separate entities: mucinous cystic neoplasms(MCNs) and intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms of the bile duct(IPMN-B). We report the case of a 56-year-old woman who presented with abdominal pain and jaundice due to the presence of a large hepatic multilocular cystic tumor associated with an intraductal tumor. Partial hepatectomy with resection of extrahepatic bile ducts demonstrated an intrahepatic MCN and an intraductal IPMN-B. This is the first report of the simultaneous occurrence of these two histologically distinct entities in the liver.
