Figure 1

Abdominal MRI and CT in patients with PLD. (A) Axial T1-weighted and (B) coronal T2-weighted MRI present 1 large cyst and numerous cystic nodules scattered at peripheral bile ducts. (C-D) CT-scanning in a PCLD patient presents multiple cysts originating from medium-sized bile ducts. (E-F) Co-occurrence of polycystic kidneys exists in ADPKD. Both PRKCSH and PKD2 gene mutations were predicted to be pathogenic (GRCh37-hg19; HGMD). Hepatic cysts are indicated by white arrows. (G) Diffuse VMC present numerous small-sized hepatic cysts located at peripheral branches of the biliary tree (in green). (H) The PLD phenotypes are arbitrarily staged and indicate disease progression. The disease course is progressive in a subset of severely affected PLD patients.
