Abstract Biliary cystadenomas are rare slow-growing multiloculated lesions which arise from the liver, mainly in middle-aged females, and are occasionally complicated by malignant transformation into cystic adenocarcinoma. This paper reports a case occurring in a 1-year-old male child. The typical radiological appearances that would enable a preoperative diagnosis to be made are described. Careful review of the histological features suggests that the biliary cystadenoma and the slightly less rare, solitary multilocular nonparasitic cyst of the liver in childhood are the same lesion.
