It usually occurs in children under 2 years of age and is slightly more common in boys. Treatment options may include: Surgery to remove the liver hemangioma. 1 Even though MHL is considered to be a congenital malformation, cytogenetic data have recently demonstrated translocations and aneuploidy, suggesting that these lesions are neoplastic. Mesenchymal hamartoma of the liver (MHL) has been long considered a developmental abnormality of the bile duct plates. Common incidental finding in liver surgical specimens and autopsies Incidence: 5.6% of adults and 0.9% of children (Mod Pathol 1996;9:233) Age and gender predilections not well studied Macroscopic hepatic cysts identified in 16.9% of livers with VMC (Mod Pathol 1996;9:233) Most MHL are diagnosed in childhood.

Biliary duct hamartomas, also known as von Meyenburg complexes, are benign lesions of the liver.1 These lesions arise from a dilation of small intrahepatic bile ducts at ductal plate malformations within a biliary hamartoma. The histogenesis of the hepatic sarcoma and its association with hamartoma is not well understood. ere are no convincing Mesenchymal hamartoma is a developmental cystic liver tumour. Kidneys: Hamartomas may be found incidentally on imaging studies of the kidney, but can occasionally cause symptoms of kidney dysfunction. 6. Ultra-sonography, computed tomography, and hepatic angiography demonstrated the presence of a large, mixed cystic and solid mass within the liver, suggesting the diagnosis of a mesenchymal hamartoma. Its association with mesenchymal hamartoma has been well described on the basis of identical chromosomal abnormalities. Mesenchymal hamartoma is a rare hepatic lesion in adults, usually presents as a cystic lesion and can be a premalignant lesion. 4. According to age, MHL may differ in their morphologic features. Semelka RC et al: Biliary hamartomas: solitary and multiple lesions shown on current MR techniques including gadolinium enhancement. Hepatic mesenchymal hamartoma is a benign tumor of the liver with uncertain cell differentiation. Mesenchymal hamartoma is a rare, benign liver neoplasm that probably represents a congenital malformation. Fibropolycystic liver diseases are a unique group of entities that are thought to stem from a derangement of embryonic ductal plate development at various stages (, 1–, 4).These entities include congenital hepatic fibrosis, biliary hamartomas, autosomal dominant polycystic disease, Caroli disease, and choledochal cysts. Its imaging findings vary from a cystic tumor to a solid mass occupying one or both lobes of the liver. ciliated hepatic foregut duplication cyst 6. infectious: inflammatory conditions.
