Objective  To summarize the current progress in diagnosis and treatment of polycystic liver disease, and provide ideas for further research direction and clinical practice of polycystic liver disease. Method  The domestic and foreign literature about polycystic liver disease was reviewed, screened, and summarized. Results  The diagnosis, evaluation, and classification of polycystic liver disease were mainly performed clinically by abdominal ultrasound and CT. Surgical treatment was the main treatment, including aspiration sclerotherapy, fenestration, segmental hepatectomy, and liver transplantation. Conclusions  The classification and evaluation scheme of polycystic liver disease needs to be improved, and its medical treatment still needs further research. Estrogen receptor and gonadotropin-releasing hormone receptor are promising therapeutic targets.
