    A rare cystic liver mass in a pediatric patient was surgically removed. The tumor exhibited features of both mesenchymal hamartoma and biliary cystadenoma, suggesting a congenital origin.

    Area of Science:

    • Pediatric Surgery
    • Surgical Pathology
    • Congenital Anomalies

    Background:

    • Cystic liver masses are rare in children.
    • Early diagnosis and surgical intervention are crucial for pediatric liver lesions.
    • Congenital anomalies can present with complex intra-abdominal masses.

    Observation:

    • A 10-year-old female presented with a painless epigastric mass.
    • Surgical excision via hepatectomy of segments II and III was performed.
    • Intraoperative findings revealed a common mesentery with cecocolonic malposition.

    Findings:

    • The resected liver mass was a cystic tumor.
    • Histopathological analysis showed features of mesenchymal hamartoma and biliary cystadenoma.
    • The tumor was classified as a mesenchymal hamartoma due to stromal component and patient age.

    Implications:

    • This case highlights the diagnostic challenges of complex pediatric liver tumors.
    • The findings support the congenital origin theory for mesenchymal hamartomas.
    • Further research into the histogenesis of such tumors is warranted.
