Radiol Case Rep. 2021 Jun 9;16(8):2139-2141. doi: 10.1016/j.radcr.2021.05.029. eCollection 2021 Aug.

Abstract

Hepatic mesenchymal hamartoma is an uncommon tumor composed of myxoid mesenchymal tissue with fluid accumulation. Here, we report a case of hepatic mesenchymal hamartoma in a 3-year-old patient who was referred to the hospital with abdominal pain and a slight fever. An abdominal ultrasound suggested a liver abscess; however, computed tomography revealed a mass with both cystic and solid components. Liver biopsy confirmed hepatic mesenchymal hamartoma, and this patient underwent the complete removal of this tumor.

Keywords: Hepatic cystic lesion; Hepatic mesenchymal hamartoma; Hepatic tumor; Liver abscess.
