Abstract:
Cystic mesenchymal hamartoma is an uncommon benign liver neoplasm usually seen in infants with an asymptomatic abdominal mass [1]. We report a neonate who presented with a ruptured cystic mesenchymal hamartoma which produced respiratory distress due to massive ascites. To our knowledge, this complication has never been reported.
