Summary

Biliary hamartomatosis typically appears as small liver nodules. However, it can also present as a single mass with diverse enhancement patterns, impacting diagnosis.

Gallbladder

The gallbladder is a small, pear-shaped organ that plays a crucial role in our digestive system. Measuring about 10 cm in length, it is comparable in size to a kiwi fruit and is located in a hollow area on the lower surface of the liver. The gallbladder's primary function is to store and concentrate bile, a fluid produced by the liver that aids in digestion.
The gallbladder's anatomy consists of three regions: the fundus, body, and neck. Extending from the neck, the cystic duct joins the common...

Area of Science:

  • Hepatobiliary pathology
  • Diagnostic imaging

Background:

  • Biliary hamartomatosis (BH) is a rare congenital liver malformation.
  • It typically manifests as multiple small, non-enhancing nodules on imaging.

Observation:

  • This study highlights atypical presentations of BH.
  • Cases can mimic other liver lesions, presenting as a single solid or cystic mass.

Findings:

  • Atypical BH can exhibit varied contrast enhancement patterns.
  • These patterns can complicate differentiation from other hepatic neoplasms.

Implications:

  • Awareness of these diverse presentations is crucial for accurate diagnosis.
  • Radiologists and clinicians should consider BH in the differential diagnosis of solitary liver masses.
