Focal liver lesions are occasionally encountered in clinical practice, either during a directed evaluation in a symptomatic patient or as an incidental finding during radiologic imaging, laparoscope or laparotomy for some other intra-abdominal condition. In this article, the first of two, the authors discuss the steps in evaluating cystic focal liver lesions and present a systematic approach to their diagnosis and treatment. A companion article, on page 157, focuses on the management of solid lesions.
