Abstract EN
Mesenchymal hamartoma (MH) is not an uncommon tumor of the liver in the age group of 2–10 years.
It is the second most common benign liver tumor in children.
Previously considered a developmental anomaly, newer insights into other theories of origin including toxic-metabolic, ischemic, and a true neoplastic process are in progress.
Previous understanding of a purely benign nature of the tumor is being overridden by a real malignant transformation.
Complete excision of the tumor with clear margins is recommended to achieve a long term cure.
A thorough understanding of the natural history of these tumors and skillful surgical treatment are indispensable elements of care.
