case_images: The lesion showed no significant enhancement on the enhanced scan and was considered a hepatic cyst (Fig. 1A and B) and gallbladder stones with cholecystitis. Intraoperative exploration revealed that the abdominal cyst originated from the right side of the peritoneum and was located between the liver and kidney (Fig. 1C). The peritoneal cyst was completely removed by routine cholecystectomy, with no rupture of the cyst wall or spillage of the cystic fluid (Fig. 1D-E). The surgery was successful, and the patient was discharged on the fourth day after. Electron microscopy (abdominal cyst) showed mostly serous cells partially covered with high columnar mucus cells, which was consistent with mucinous cystadenoma (Fig. 1F).
