  • Title: Recurrent mesenchymal hamartoma associated with 19q translocation. A call for more radical surgical resection.
    Author: Sharif K, Ramani P, Lochbühler H, Grundy R, de Ville de Goyet J.
    Journal: Eur J Pediatr Surg; 2006 Feb; 16(1):64-7. PubMed ID: 16544232.
    Abstract:
    Hepatic mesenchymal hamartoma is a rare benign tumour in children. It is often large and centrally located in the liver at diagnosis, making surgical resection difficult; thus non-radical resection has been proposed in the past as acceptable management. However, a literature survey and a case with recurrence associated with cytogenetic anomalies suggest that radical liver surgery (resection with a margin of normal liver parenchyma, as for malignant tumour) should be recommended for mesenchymal hamartoma.
