Abstract
Von Meyenburg complex is a benign biliary hamartoma observed in approximately 3% of
the autopsies conducted. These hamartomas are small, multiple and can be seen anywhere
in the liver. There is usually no abnormality in liver function tests, and the patient
is mostly asymptomatic. They serve as a diagnostic dilemma, particularly during metastatic
workup in suspected cancer patients. Imaging studies are usually noncontributory,
and biopsy is necessary for a definite diagnosis. We present here a middle-aged North
Indian male who underwent liver biopsy to rule out metastasis.
Key words
