A Case report : Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and Magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (MRCP) in Diagnosis of Biliary Microhamartomas
Journal Title: International Journal of Medical Science And Advanced Clinical Research (IJMACR) - Year 2018, Vol 1, Issue 1
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
