Magnetic resonance imaging of von Meyenburg complexes: report of a pathologically documented case.
Von Meyenburg complexes (VMC) are rare malformations of the bile ducts. They are usually associated with adult dominant polycystic disease (ADPCD). Although generally benign, they may give rise to cholangiocarcinomas. Herein, we report the third MR documented case of VMC. The comparative diagnostic value of ultrasound (US), computed tomography (CT), and magnetic resonance (MR) examinations is discussed.
