AI Article Synopsis
- Multicystic biliary hamartoma (MCBH) is a rare type of liver cystic nodule recently identified as a distinct hepatic lesion.
- A case involved a 52-year-old male with a multicystic mass in segment 3 of the liver, which was successfully removed through surgery.
- Detailed examination showed a distinctive honeycomb structure with cystic ducts and biliary-type cells, emphasizing the importance of recognizing MCBH to differentiate it from other liver tumors and understand its treatment responses.
Article Abstract
Multicystic biliary hamartoma (MCBH) is a very rare hamartomatous cystic nodule of the liver, which has recently been described as a new entity of a hepatic nodular lesion. We report a unique case of MCBH with a review of the literatures. A hepatic multicystic mass of segment 3 was detected in a 52-year-old male by abdominal computed tomography, and resection of this lesion was performed. Macroscopic examination revealed a 2.7×2.0 cm nodular mass with a multicystic honeycomb cut surface. Histologically, this lesion consisted of multiple dilated cystic ducts lined by biliary type epithelial cells, periductal glands and connective tissue, which included small amounts of hepatic parenchyma and blood vessels. Recognition of this unusual lesion is essential to avoid confusion with other cystic tumors of the liver, and to learn more about its natural history and response to treatment.

Autoimmune pancreatitis (AIP) is acknowledged as a benign ailment with swift responsivity to corticosteroid treatment (CST). Though past assumptions dismissed its connection to cyst formation, a few instances of AIP-linked pancreatic cysts (PCs) have been documented. While some cases responded positively to CST, others demonstrated resistance, necessitating intervention.

Introduction: Von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) disease can be known as a rare autosomal dominant syndrome that affects some organ systems and is characterized by the growth of both benign and malignant tumors. Diagnosis and management of VHL were needed to have better outcomes.
Case Presentation: A 39-year-old male with a history of VHL disease and positive family history presented with jaundice and pruritus.

Introduction: Multicystic biliary hamartoma (MCBH) is a very rare hepatic benign neoplasm that manifests as a localized cystic-solid mass. Only 17 cases have been described in the literature to date. MCBH diagnosis is currently dependent on imaging and pathology following surgical resection and no precise standards are in place.

Article Synopsis
- Multicystic biliary hamartoma (MCBH) is a rare benign liver lesion that appears as a multicystic honeycomb structure, with a recent case highlighting an atypical histological feature involving peribiliary glands.
- A 63-year-old Japanese male had a hepatic cystic lesion that had been monitored for 14 years; it was resected laparoscopically and found to have a unique composition resembling both bile duct epithelium and abundant peribiliary glands.
- The diagnosis emphasized the importance of distinguishing between normal peribiliary glands and neoplastic ones in MCBH cases to avoid misdiagnosis.

Background: Multicystic biliary hamartoma (MCBH) is a rare hamartomatous nodule of the liver, which has recently been described as a new category of hepatic nodular cystic lesion. Most of them are benign. The imaging findings are similar to those of many other hepatic cystic lesions, but MCBH also has some notable features, such as large cysts, smooth cyst walls, and lack of communication with the hepatic duct.
