Introduction: Biliary mucinous cystadenomas of the liver are rare benign cystic tumors constituting less than 5% of intrahepatic biliary cysts. They have recently been redefined as mucinous cystic neoplasms in the 2010 WHO classification. The tumors are insidiously progressive and may attain large proportions. This paper report on a case of giant biliary mucinous cystadenoma in a 16 year old boy. It was 24 cm in size, multiloculated, confined to the right lobe of the liver. Microscopical examination revealed a single lining of cuboidal to tall columnar mucin producing cells with focal stratification. A right hepatectomy was performed. Patient is without recurrence at 3 years follow up.
