Eleven patients with by polycystic liver disease were operated according to Lin's procedure. All cases were symptomatic forms. Sonography was diagnostic examination in 9 cases. Lin's procedure was not associated with any postoperative mortality or morbidity and no recurrences were observed after an average follow up of 4 years. Rarely, a feminale predominance and association with polycystic kidney disease are noted. Sonography establishes the diagnosis and reveals complications (most intracystic bleeding frequently). Lin's procedure is better than sonographic aspiration which must be repeated and can be complicated by severe infection. Operative aspirative drainage is necessary. Hepatectomy is rarely justified.
