Core Tip
Core Tip: Simple hepatic cysts typically appear as asymptomatic benign tumors of the liver without elevation of any diagnostic serum biomarkers. However, over the years, a few cases of simple hepatic cysts with elevated tumor markers have been reported in the world. Here, we report a case of giant simple hepatic cyst with elevation of multiple serum cancer biomarkers, including protein induced by vitamin K absence-II, cancer antigen (CA) 12-5, and CA19-9.
