Biliary microhamartomas (von Meyenburg complexes), liver metastasis simulators: a series of eight cases.
Background: Von Meyenburg complexes are benign hamartomatous lesions, they are part of the spectrum of ductal plate malformations. They are rare, reported in 0.35-5.6% of the general population, predominantly in adults, with no clear predilection for sex.
Objective: To present the clinical characteristics of Von Meyenburg complexes in our region.
Method: We searched all cases with diagnosis of Von Meyenburg complexes in a period from 2012 to 2022, in our institutions.
Results: We identified eight cases, with an average age of 59.25 years, with a predominance of females and with one case associated with gastric carcinoma.
Conclusions: It is important to adequately recognize this entity, since due to its multifocal nature it can easily simulate metastasis, additionally, and its presence does not rule out other synchronous neoplasms.
