AST, GGT, hepatitis B, C, and HIV screening were unremarkable. A subsequent contrast enhanced abdominal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan confirmed a 2.8 cm hypodense cyst with a 1.7 cm solid component in the posterior aspect of the cyst with enhancement. A follow-up contrast enhanced MRI was performed, which demonstrated persistent of solid component (Figure 1).
