MR imaging of multiple hepatic cysts in a patient with polycystic liver disease

We report a case of a 55-year-old woman with polycystic liver disease that we examined with magnetic resonance (MR) imaging, CT and ultrasound. The MR images demonstrated varying intensities in the cyst contents which we believe is due to different degrees and age of hemorrhage. Such variability among the cysts was not seen on the CT or ultrasound images.
