ABSTRACT
Multiple biliary hamartomas are rare benign malformations of the intrahepatic bile ducts first described by von Meyenburg in 1918.
They originate from embryonic bile ducts that fail to involute. These are generally asymptomatic and usually encountered as an incidental
finding at imaging, laparotomy or autopsy.
