The clinical presentation of Von Meyenburg complexes.

Rare liver tumor: symptomatic giant von Meyenburg complex

von Meyenburg complexes are hamartomas that arise from intra-hepatic bile ducts. Symptomatic lesions are uncommon and giant lesions are exceedingly rare. When encountered, they should be excised because there are reports of malignant change in large, symptomatic lesions. We report a case of a symptomatic giant von Meyenburg complex.

Multiple biliary hamartomas (Von Meyenburg complexes): Imaging findings and clues for differencial diagnosis

Von Meyenburg complex in a bariatric patient.

An obese 54 year old female patient with a BMI of 43kg/m2 was scheduled to undergo diagnostic laparoscopy and laparoscopic gastric bypass operation. At laparoscopy both liver lobes showed widespread small lesions involving all surface of liver, suggestive of metastatic malignant disease. Liver was normal in shape with multiple intricate white to pale yellow nodular spots of average diameter 0.3...

Malignant epithelioma of the liver.

Introduction There are several congenital cystic conditions affecting the liver and bile ducts. The first group includes the intrahepatic cysts, which may be solitary or multiple, and their precursors, the von Meyenburg complexes. These are microscopic areas of duct ectasia which may enlarge gradually to form macroscopic cysts. The second group includes those lesions affecting the biliary drain...

Primary liver carcinoma in genetic hemochromatosis reveals a broad histologic spectrum.

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a well-known complication of genetic hemochromatosis (GH). However, the frequency of primary liver carcinoma (PLC) with biliary differentiation, such as cholangiocarcinoma (CC) and combined hepatocholangiocarcinoma (CHCC), in GH remains unclear We analyzed the histologic type of 20 PLCs occurring in the background of GH; all patients were homozygotic for the C2...
