Clinicopathological analysis of mesenchymal hamartoma of the liver

Abstract

To improve the awareness of the CT appearances and histopathological presentations of mesenchymal hamartoma of the liver (MHL),one case of MHL was observed and analyzed its imaging and pathological features with review of the literatures. One case of MHL was observed and analyzed its imaging and pathological features with a review of the literature. This patient underwent an operation and the tumor was completely resected. A diagnosis of MHL was established by pathological examination. No tumor recurrence or metastasis was observed 4 years after operation. MHL is a rare benign tumor of the liver. Preoperative diagnosis is very significant. As its main imaging method, CT scan has some specific features. The management of MHL remains controversial. To achieve a good long-term outcome, complete resection of MHL is recommended.
