Mucinous cystadenomas of the liver are rare cystic neoplasms, often mistaken for simple cysts or hydatid cysts of the liver. They are generally benign tumors, often discovered incidentally on imaging or during independent surgeries. Despite their tendency to grow slowly, mucinous cystadenomas of the liver can reach symptomatic dimensions. And given their potential for malignant transformation into mucinous cystadenocarcinomas, a misdiagnosis can have serious secondary consequences. We report the case of a 55-year-old woman with chronic right hypochondrium pain in whom a mucinous cystadenoma of the liver was accidentally discovered during surgery for hepatic hydatid cyst at the general surgery department at the ARRAZI Hospital - UHC Mohammed VI in Marrakech, Morocco.
