Abstract

A mixed hamartoma of the liver in a 39 year old man is reported. Abdominal ultrasound revealed a 4 cm inhomogeneous echogenic mass with acoustic shadowing. MRI T1 weighted images showed a inhomogeneous low intensity mass with lower gadolinium enhancement than normal liver, a moderate low signal intensity on proton density weighted images, and heterogeneous isosignal intensity on T2 weighted images. Peripheric calcifications were found on pathologic examination.
