Autosomal dominant polycystic liver disease is considered rare autosomal dominant disease, with prevalence of 1/100,000-1,000,000. Without family history of polycystic liver disease, ADPLD is defined as the presence of more than 20 liver cysts with no renal cysts, however up to third of ADPLD may have small number of renal cysts without kidney function impairment.
