“…The morphological lesion in PLD is considered to be the biliary microhamartoma (8), also known as von Meyenburg's complex (10). Biliary microhamartomas are generally suggested to arise as developmental anomaly ( 2 , 9, lo), although similar lesions may be caused e.g.…”

“…Adult polycystic liver disease (PLD) is a condition in which multiple microscopic or macroscopic cysts, lined by biliary epithelium, are found diffusely distributed but usually situated subcapsularly in the liver (8). Biliary microhamartomas (Von Meyenburg's com-plexes) are defined as multiple nodular lesions which consist of a collection of proliferated bile ducts or ductules set in a fibrous, often hyalinized stroma (8). In ductal plate malformation there is an increased number of bile ducts in enlarged fibrotic portal spaces.…”

The relationship between adult polycystic liver disease (PLD) and biliary microhamartomas (von Meyenburg's complexes) was studied in a series of ten autopsy cases in which the size of the cysts varied from microscopic to 10 cm. Biliary microhamartomas, found in every case, were the most abundant (p <0.001) in livers with cyst size of 1 cm or less and had almost disappeared in cases with the largest cysts. The number of microhamartomas had no significant correlation with age or liver weight. The results indicate that biliary microhamartoma (von Meyenburg's complex) is coupled with adult‐type polycystic liver disease, and, probably, is the histopathological lesion that transforms into cysts. The number of microhamartomas is the highest in the early phase of the disease.
