Rare liver tumor: symptomatic giant von Meyenburg complex

J Surg Case Rep. 2017 Jan 9;2016(11):rjw195. doi: 10.1093/jscr/rjw195.

Abstract

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.
