A Case report : Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and Magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (MRCP) in Diagnosis of Biliary Microhamartomas

Abstract

Introduction Biliary hamartomas, which are known as von Meyenburg complexes (VMCs), are benign liver malformations. They histologically include cystic dilated bile ducts which are surrounded by numerous fibrous stroma[1,2] up to 5 mm in diameter.It is hard to notice them by autopsy incidentally. Detecting modalities through imaging is difficult due to their asymptomatic nature and small size[3]. VMCs are rare. However, they are easily confused with metastatic diseases of the liver especially in imaging[4]. Therefore, understanding the imaging traits of VMCs is needed for the differential diagnosis, which decreases the needs for methods such as biopsy or laparotomy[5]. Our goal is to report the routine magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (MRCP) in diagnosis of biliary microhamartomas
