Multicystic Biliary Hamartoma of the Liver

چکیده
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. Macroscopic examination revealed a 2.7×2.0 cm nodular mass with a multicystic honeycomb cut surface. Histologically, this lesion consisted of multiple dilated cystic ducts lined by biliary type epithelial cells, periductal glands and connective tissue, which included small amounts of hepatic parenchyma and blood vessels. Recognition of this unusual lesion is essential to avoid confusion with other cystic tumors of the liver, and to learn more about its natural history and response to treatment.

Prenatal Diagnosis of Congenital Mesenchymal Hamartoma of Liver: A Case Report
Hepatic mesenchymal hamartoma is a rare benign tumor. We present an unusual case of a fetal abdominal cyst, later diagnosed histopathologically to be mesenchymal hamartoma of liver. The organ of origin was indeterminate on both prenatal and postnatal ultrasounds. As there are no specific sonological findings, whenever a large multicystic fetal abdominal cyst is seen, mesenchymal hamartoma shoul...

Hepatic tumors accounted 5% of congenital neoplasms. Mesenchymal hamartoma of the liver is a rare benign childhood tumor, whose definitive diagnosis during the fetal period remains difficult, despite advances in antenatal imaging. In this paper, we report a case of hepatic mesenchymal hamartoma diagnosed prenatally with ultrasound scan showing a multicystic mass in the left upper abdomen accomp...

We describe a 10-year-old boy with a rare large multicystic pulmonary chondroid hamartoma in the right lower lobe presenting with severe respiratory distress. The radiological evaluation showed a large multicystic lesion in the right lower lobe with pneumothorax. Commonly, pulmonary hamartomas are asymptomatic, small in size, and are diagnosed incidentally in adults. Our case is highly unusual ...

Mesenchymal hamartoma of the liver (MHL) is a benign and rare hepatic lesion, with an uncertain etiology and a potential for developing into an undifferentiated distant embryonal sarcoma after an incomplete resection. It mainly presents as progressive abdominal distension with normal blood works. Most cases are diagnosed in the first two years of life, with a higher frequency in boys and on the...

Biliary hamartoma or von Mayenburg complex (VMCs) is a rare benign congenital malformation of the biliary duct. Patients are usually asymptomatic. Hepatic lesions are incidentally discovered on ultrasonography (US) and subsequent radiological methods are necessary for confirmation. A correct diagnosis is established when typical imaging findings are present, otherwise histological confirmation ...
