Bile duct hamartomas (von Meyenburg complexes): value of MR imaging in diagnosis.

摘要

We present a case of a patient initially believed to have multiple liver metastases based on ultrasound and computed tomography findings in whom a diagnosis of multiple bile duct hamartomas (von Meyenburg complexes) was indicated after ultrasound-guided liver biopsy. Magnetic resonance imaging aided greatly in confirming the diagnosis of von Meyenburg complexes, thereby avoiding laparotomy and open liver biopsy.
