  • Title: Mesenchymal hamartoma of the liver.
    Author: Raffensperger JG, Gonzalez-Crussi F, Skeehan T.
    Journal: J Pediatr Surg; 1983 Oct; 18(5):585-7. PubMed ID: 6644499.
    Abstract:
    Mesenchymal hamartoma is a benign, cystic lesion that arises from connective tissues of the portal tracts. It is most common in children under 5 years of age. The diagnosis can be suspected when a relatively asymptomatic child has a large, smooth mass in the liver. Radionuclide scans demonstrate a solitary lesion, and on ultrasound there are cystic spaces and septa. These are perfectly benign lesions and may be simply enucleated.
