In histopathology, a bile duct hamartoma, also von Meyenburg complex, Meyenburg complex and biliary hamartoma, is a benign tumour-like malformation of the liver.
They are classically associated with polycystic liver disease, as may be seen in the context of polycystic kidney disease, and represent a malformation of the liver plate.[1]
Eponym
The eponymous terms (von Meyenburg complex, Meyenburg complex) are named for Hanns von Meyenburg.[2][3]
