9 patients that were operated on at the Provincial Clinical and Surgical Teaching Hospital and at the "Comandante Manuel Fajardo" Military Hospital, both in Santa Clara, for presenting solitary nonparasitic hepatic cyst were studied. It appeared mainly in patients over 60, and females were the most affected. 7 of the cysts were located in the right lobule and 2 in the left lobule of the liver. Abdominal pain and palpable tumors were the most important aspects in the clinical picture and in the physical examination. Laparoscopy, abdominal ultrasound and CAT were the most useful tests for the diagnosis. Cystojejunostomy was the most used surgical technique. 3 patients had complications, accounting for 33.3 %, and 1 died, which represents 11.1 % of mortality
