Abstract Hepatic cystic lesions include congenital dysplasia, inflammatory cystic lesions, neoplastic cystic lesions and parasitic cystic lesions. As different treatment modalities can be chosen for these lesions, differential diagnosis is particularly important [1]. Clinical features or imaging findings of cystic lesions of the liver are typical; for instance, liver abscess often shows thick-walled enhancement on contrast-enhanced CT, with a "target sign" or "double ring sign". Some neoplastic lesions of the liver may mimic liver abscesses on imaging, which can be easily misdiagnosed in clinical practice. Herein we reported two patients diagnosed with liver abscess on imaging without typical clinical features, which were finally confirmed to be a large cell neuroendocrine carcinoma (LCNEC) and a bile duct hamartoma (BDH) by pathology. The clinical data of these two patients are shown in Table 1.
