Simple hepatic cysts are rare (SHC) and usually detected incidentally during screening imaging examinations. There is no consensus regarding the management of SHC, resulting in confusion and difficulty in selecting appropriate therapy especially for children. We report a pediatric case of SHC treated by laparoscopic deroofing. Keywords: Hepatic cyst, Liver cyst, Laparoscopy, Deroofing
