Simple hepatic cysts are now being diagnosed more frequently with the widespread availability of sonographic imaging. Among the general population, the prevalence was reported to be between 0.1 and 2.5%, more so in women, and more often in the right lobe. We conducted this large scale community-based sonographic screening on simple hepatic cysts to explore the age- and sex-specific prevalence in Taiwan. We also conducted another hospital-based study to record the size of simple hepatic cysts. A total of 3,600 subjects in 8 communities were recruited and 156 simple hepatic cysts in 132 study subjects were detected. The overall prevalence is 3.60%. An increasing prevalence with age is demonstrated, ranging from 0.83% from below the age of 40 up to 7.81% of patients over 60 years old. The sizes of 219 simple hepatic cysts of 167 patients out of the hospital-based 5,893 patients were recorded in detail; 53% of cysts were of a diameter of between 1 and 3 cm, and only 7% were larger than 5 cm.
随着超声成像技术的广泛应用，单纯性肝囊肿的诊断越来越频繁。在普通人群中，据报道其患病率在0.1%至2.5%之间，女性更为常见，且右叶更为多发。我们对单纯性肝囊肿进行了这项大规模的社区超声筛查，以探究台湾地区按年龄和性别的患病率情况。我们还开展了另一项基于医院的研究，以记录单纯性肝囊肿的大小。共招募了8个社区的3600名受试者，在132名研究对象中检测到156个单纯性肝囊肿。总体患病率为3.60%。结果显示患病率随年龄增长而升高，40岁以下人群患病率为0.83%，60岁以上患者患病率高达7.81%。在基于医院的5893名患者中，详细记录了167例患者的219个单纯性肝囊肿的大小；53%的囊肿直径在1至3厘米之间，只有7%的囊肿直径大于5厘米。
