Abstract: Objective To analyze CT findings of chronic schistosomiasis combined with hepatic cyst. Methods 7 cases of chronic schistosomiasis of hepatic cyst confirmed by operation and pathology were retrospectively analyzed. Results The maximum length and diameter of hepatic cyst in 7 patients were more than 5 cm. Internal CT plain scan and multi-plane recombination showed high density linear opacity in the focus, while the calcification opacity of the nodule in the linear separation and of paramural nodules of cysts were partially visible. Delayed phase imaging showed nodules exhibiting mild to moderate enhancement. Conclusion CT in diagnosing hepatic cysts combined with chronic schistosomiasis are relatively characteristic, and requires a combination of water exposure history and laboratory examination.
