ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the CT features of hepatic mesenchymal hamartoma (HMH)in children.Methods Nine patients with HMH confirmed by postoperative pathology were enrolled,including 4 were males and 5 were females.Their age ranged from 3 days to 9 years 5 months (the median age was 7 months).All patients admitted due to palpable abdominal mass without jaundice.All patients were examed by contrast-enhanced CT before the operation.Results All the 9 cases showed solitary hepatic mass,among which 6 were in the right lobe,2 were in the left lobe and 1 involved in both lobes.The tumor size ranged from 7.0 to 22.5 cm (mean size was 13.5 cm) in diameter.The CT manifestations of HMH was related to the proportion and distribution of component in the masses.The masses were cystic (n =1),cystic-solid mixed (n =6) and solid (n =3).After contrast administration,the solid component and the septa of the mass showed enhancement while cystic component was not enhanced.Calcification was seen inside the tumor in one case.Conclusions The CT features of HMH in children are multitudinous which are related to postoperative pathological findings.With the clinical history,it is easy to distinguish HMH from the other hepatic tumors.
