OD (cut-off 0.82), total IgE over 1000 IU/ml (normal value < 60 IU/ml), and normal levels of hepatic enzymes. On abdominal US both cysts in S7/8 had increased to 2.6 cm and 2.1 cm, respectively, in the left lobe 0.8 cm cyst was seen with fibrinous septum (Figure 2).
MRI scan of the patient no.3: multiple cysts up to 2.7 cm in S8/5, S7/6, S7, and S2/4 of the liver.
