Abstract

The case is 91-year-old male with hypertension for long. When he was 80-years-old, he cannot walk due to frailty. His muscle power was recovered by his daily continuous resistance training and aerobic training for long. At the age of 85, he was diagnosed to have simple hepatic cysts (SHC) by abdominal CT as round size of 125mm x 105mm. It was enlarged during 85-90 years, and it was treated successfully by percutaneous aspiration. He showed slight arteriosclerosis by the pulse wave velocity (PWV) exam. Clinical problems include SHC, where some perspectives are discussed for adequate treatment in the future.
