Polycystic liver disease (PLD) occasionally leads to abdominal pain, distention, and discomfort due to massively enlarged cysts. Patients with a small number of large liver cysts, which correspond to Gigot's classification type 1 PLD, are reported to be good candidates for treatment by aspiration sclerotherapy. However, there is a 21% reported recurrence rate of an enlarged cyst. A rule to predict outcome of aspiration sclerotherapy is explored in this study.
