Multiple biliary hamartomas (MBH), a rare bile duct malformation, can mimic liver metastases. This case highlights how imaging features like hepatic cysts with mural nodules aid accurate MBH diagnosis.

Area of Science:

  • Hepatology
  • Radiology
  • Pathology

Background:

  • Multiple biliary hamartomas (MBH) are rare, benign malformations of the intrahepatic bile ducts.
  • MBH can present as multiple hepatic nodules, potentially mimicking malignant liver lesions such as metastases.

Observation:

  • A case of MBH is presented where imaging findings simulated liver metastases.
  • Ultrasound (US) and computed tomography (CT) revealed multiple hepatic nodules throughout both liver lobes.
  • Angiography demonstrated both hypovascular and hypervascular nodules, adding complexity to the differential diagnosis.

Findings:

  • Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed hepatic cysts containing intermediate signal mural nodules.
  • This specific MRI finding of hepatic cysts with mural nodules is crucial for diagnosis.

  • Diagnosis was confirmed via US-guided biopsy.

    • Implications:

    • Recognizing these specific imaging features can significantly improve the diagnostic accuracy of MBH.
    • Distinguishing MBH from liver metastases pre-biopsy can streamline patient management.
    • Further case reports and imaging studies are warranted to refine diagnostic criteria for MBH.
