Abstract
|
|
Introduction:
Von Meyenburg complexes are rare, often small multi-nodular cystic lesions which are usually asymptomatic and incidentally diagnosed.
Case Report: We present a case of a 74-year-old male whose medical imaging for follow-up on renal cysts led to an unexpected and incidental diagnosis of Von Meyenburg Complexes. There have been reports of development of cholangiocarcinoma and hepatocellular carcinoma in patients with such lesions. Conclusion: Von Meyenburg complexes can have atypical presentation and have been associated with hepatobiliary malignancy. | |
