title: Multiple bile duct hamartomas: US, CT, and MR findings. A case report.
abstract: We report ultrasound, CT and MR findings in a patient with multiple bile duct hamartomas (BDH) which were associated with disseminated peritoneal leiomyomatosis, a coincidence not previously reported. At MR imaging, the multiple hepatic nodules of BDH were hypointense in T1-weighted images and moderately hyperintense in T2-weighted images, which is in agreement with the findings in the 2 previously reported cases examined with this modality.
