“…This clinical entity was first described in 1959 and as a pathological lesion, it was first described in 1966 [2,3]. The other synonyms include lymphangiomas, bile duct hamartomas, mesenchymomas, psuedocystic mesenchymal tumours and cystic hamartomas.…”

“…Its origin is mostly from the right lobe of the liver [2]. Most of the cases remain asymptomatic, while the others are detected incidentally when they present with a right upper quadrant mass, respiratory distress, fever and a raised right hemidiaphragm [2,8].…”

“…In addition, the mesenchymal components of both HMH and hepatoblastoma are strongly positive for vimentin [1]. The benign mesenchymal tumours of liver are more common than their epithelial counterparts [2]. The vascular lesions of mesenchymal origin are infantile hemangioendothelioma and cavernous hemangioma.…”

Hepatic mesenchymal hamartoma (HMH) is a hamartomatous growth of the mesenchymal tissue in the liver, which is of an uncertain aetiology. It is a space-occupying lesion that can potentially compress the adjacent organs, resulting in various complications, which include death. Hepatic mesenchymal hamartoma is characterized by the variable proliferation of the myxomatous mesenchyme and the malformed bile ducts. The differential diagnosis includes other paediatric hepatic masses. The diagnosis is typically made during infancy, and a complete resection is invariably curative. Here, we are reporting a case of HMH in a one year old female child who presented with abdominal distension. A clinical diagnosis of malignancy was made, based on the symptoms and imaging studies and a final diagnosis was made only after a histopathological examination. The lesion was potentially benign, with very rare chances of recurrence. This case has been presented due to its rarity.

Fine-needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) is an effective tool for early and quick diagnosis of malignant and metastatic liver masses. However, diagnosing a benign liver tumor on cytology is a challenging task as they are rarely assessed on cytology and also due to the limitations of the procedure. Mesenchymal hamartoma is an uncommon benign pediatric liver tumor and difficult to diagnose on cytology. We describe here a case of a child who presented with a huge liver mass and clinical suspicion of hepatoblastoma. The child underwent blind FNA, and was diagnosed as mesenchymal hamartoma based on the cytological features. A biopsy was performed subsequently which confirmed the same and then he underwent surgical resection of the tumor.The patient had an uneventful recovery and is disease free on follow up.
