What Is a Liver Cyst?
4. Polycystic Liver Disease
In an even rarer number of cases, people will develop a condition known as polycystic liver disease. This means the patient will develop not only one cyst on their liver, but several. Even with several cysts on their liver, the patient may still not experience any significant problems.
Again, not a lot is known why this occurs, but it does often happen in people where there’s a history of it in their family. Even then, people without a family history of the condition can contract the disease. The disease does not usually cause complications, but it will result in potentially severe complications in a small number of cases.
