Biliary Hamartoma

Biliary hamartoma presented as a single mass

Usual biliary hamartomatosis presents as numerous small, non-enhancing nodules in liver. However, in some cases, it can presents as a single solid or cystic mass with various contrast enhancement pattern.

Incidentally discovered white subcupsular liver nodules during laparoscopic surgery: biliary hamartoma and peribiliary gland hamartoma.

During routine laparoscopic surgery, the surgeon may encounter the presence of small white subcapsular liver nodules, either solitary or multiple. The lesions may mimic liver metastasis and in many cases are not demonstrated in the preoperative ultrasound or computed tomography. The aim of this article is to familiarize the laparoscopic surgeon with the incidental discovery of these nodules whi...

Multicystic Biliary Hamartoma of the Liver

Multicystic biliary hamartoma (MCBH) is a very rare hamartomatous cystic nodule of the liver, which has recently been described as a new entity of a hepatic nodular lesion. We report a unique case of MCBH with a review of the literatures. A hepatic multicystic mass of segment 3 was detected in a 52-year-old male by abdominal computed tomography, and resection of this lesion was performed. Macro...

[Hepatobiliary scintigraphy for the evaluation of hepatic cyst].

We present a full-term male neonate with no relevant family history, with prenatal diagnosis using ultrasonography and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of cystic lesion that supports the differential diagnosis between choledochal cyst and normal gall bladder. Initial abdominal ultrasound (Fig. 1) showed an intrahepatic cystic lesion suggestive of mesenchymal hamartoma or choledochal cyst. In a ...
