Peribiliary cysts are an incidental finding in patients with advanced liver disease. They were found to be common in fibrocystic disorders such as autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease and polycystic liver disease, as well as cirrhotic livers. They result from obstruction-induced cystic dilatation of the peribiliary glands. We report in this article the case of 2 patients, aged 41 and 71, smokers and chronic alcoholics, admitted for febrile cholestatic jaundice, for which MRI revealed the presence of peribiliary cysts.
