title: Von Meyenburg complex (hamartoma of the bile duct) mimicking liver metastases.
abstract: BACKGROUND
  Hamartomas of the bile duct (von Meyenburg complex) are benign lesions of the liver that may mimic liver metastases. Histologically, they consist of cystic dilatations of the bile duct, encompassed by fibrous stroma.
  
  
  METHODS
  We reported a 68-year-old male patient in who gross, ultrasonic and MSCT appearance suggest multiple liver metastases. The diagnosis of von Meyenburg complex was made after histopathologic examination of liver biopsy.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Von Meyenburg complex in an uncommon entity which should be taken into consideration as a differential diagnosis of liver metastases.
