Gallstones with Multiple Biliary Hamartomas: A Case Report

Multiple biliary hamartomas (MBH), also known as Von Meyenburg complexes (VMC), are rare congenital disorders characterized by multiple cystic biliary dilatations without significant gender or age predilection.Due to limited reported cases and a lack of standardized guidelines, the management of these patients remains a clinical challenge.However, MBH may mimic other hepatic tumors and carry a potential risk of malignant transformation.Clinicians should recognize this rare entity, understand its clinical and imaging features, and differentiate it from other cystic hepatic lesions to avoid unnecessary overtreatment.This article retrospectively analyzes the clinical data of one case of MBH and reviews relevant literature.

Abstract

Multiple biliary hamartomas (MBH), also known as Von Meyenburg complexes (VMC), are rare congenital disorders characterized by multiple cystic biliary dilatations without significant gender or age predilection.Due to limited reported cases and a lack of standardized guidelines, the management of these patients remains a clinical challenge.However, MBH may mimic other hepatic tumors and carry a potential risk of malignant transformation.Clinicians should recognize this rare entity, understand its clinical and imaging features, and differentiate it from other cystic hepatic lesions to avoid unnecessary overtreatment.This article retrospectively analyzes the clinical data of one case of MBH and reviews relevant literature.
