Cystic mesenchymal hamartoma of the liver.
Two cases of multicystic mesenchymal hamartoma of the liver in children are described. In both cases noninvasive imaging techniques (ultrasound, CT or MR, radionuclide scan) showed a bulky cystic mass suggesting a correct preoperative diagnosis, while selective arteriography defined the operability of the tumor.
