Multicystic peritoneal inclusion cysts: the use of CT guided drainage for symptom control

Ann R Coll Surg Engl. 2000 May;82(3):196-7.

Abstract

Our case study is that of a teenage male presenting with multilocular peritoneal inclusion cystic disease that is now managed symptomatically with a minimally invasive, repeatable technique. Between admissions he leads a relatively normal life. Symptomatic control in MPIC is possible using repeated CT guided aspirations.
