Simple hepatic cysts are a relatively common radiological finding. These cysts may be classified as parasitic and non-parasitic. They are usually asymptomatic, but may cause symptoms due to local compression. These compressive complications include: portal hypertension, edema due to caval compression, extrinsic gastric compression and duodenal compression with obstruction.However, no reports in the literature exist describing atrial compression by hepatic cysts.In this case report a simple hepatic cyst causing slight right atrial compression is described. This slight compression is the cause of atrial premature beats.It is proposed that simple hepatic cysts may be the cause of atrial premature beats.
单纯性肝囊肿是一种相对常见的影像学表现。这些囊肿可分为寄生虫性和非寄生虫性。它们通常无症状，但可能因局部压迫而引起症状。这些压迫性并发症包括：门静脉高压、腔静脉压迫导致的水肿、外在性胃压迫和十二指肠压迫伴梗阻。然而，文献中尚无关于肝囊肿压迫心房的报道。在本病例报告中，描述了一例引起右心房轻度压迫的单纯性肝囊肿。这种轻度压迫是房性早搏的原因。有人提出单纯性肝囊肿可能是房性早搏的病因。
