  • Title: Hepatic mesenchymal hamartoma mimicking hemangioma on multiple-phase gadolinium-enhanced MRI.
    Author: Andronikou S, Soin S, Nafoos O, Platt K, Lakhoo K.
    Journal: J Pediatr Hematol Oncol; 2006 May; 28(5):322-4. PubMed ID: 16772885.
    Abstract:
    Mesenchymal Hamartoma [MH] is a cystic benign liver mass occurring in children. Diagnostic confusion with hepatoblastoma may arise when alpha-feto-protein is elevated, and with hemangioendothelioma when imaging shows centripetal filling. We demonstrate one such case with progressive centripetal enhancement of a liver mass with Gadolinium enhanced multiple phase gradient-echo MRI, in a child with raised alpha-feto protein.
