Abstract:
Mesenchymal hamartomas of the liver is considered a benign tumour, although it provides significant challenges in the diagnosis and operative management. Clinical features, laboratory results and radiographic imaging are often non-specific and inconclusive. Thus, it is still difficult to differentiate from malignant lesion without pathological examination. While this tumour is usually diagnosed in the first 2 years of life, few cases in older children have been reported and most of them are case reports. In this article, we want to report our clinical evaluation, results of image diagnosis, surgical procedure and the follow-up simultaneously we discuss the possible differential diagnosis of such a case at this age.
