A Case of Multiple Bile Duct Hamartomas in the Liver
Abstract
-
Bile duct hamartomas are rare benign malformations of the biliary tract. It is usually discovered as occasional findings at autopsy. It may be confused with metastatic lesions of the liver or may rarely be found in association with cholangiocarcinoma. We report a case of 64-year-old woman who showed multiple small low attenuated lesions in both lobes of the liver on CT scan. Clinically, it was hard to differentiate them from metastatic lesions in the liver. Multiple bile duct hamartomas were histologically confirmed with liver needle biopsy. We report this case with a review of literature.
