Descrição

We report a case of a mesenchymal hamartoma of the liver in a two-year-old boy. He presented to the emergency room with abdominal distention and vomiting. Abdominal ultrasound and computed tomography were performed and revealed a large, intra-peritoneal lesion, with thick wall, multiple cysts of variable size and solid septa. The lesion was surgically resected. Pathological examination revealed a mesenchymal hamartoma of the liver. We are including a short literature review, highlighting the main features of mesenchymal hamartoma of the liver, and discussing its differential diagnosis.
