Polycystic liver disease

Polycystic liver disease (PCLD) is a genetic disorder characterized by an overgrowth of biliary epithelium and supportive connective tissue, resulting in the presence of multiple cysts in the liver. The cysts are fluid filled, and the number of cysts present can vary from few to many, depending on the individual. The cysts can range in size from a few millimeters to more than 15 centimeters.
