Mesenchymal hamartoma of the liver is a rare benign tumour of childhood, characterised by an admixture of ductal structures within a copious loose connective tissue stroma. Less consistent features include hepatocytes and haemopoietic elements. The stroma has a propensity to accumulate fluid and to create macroscopic cystic spaces. Five cases are reported.
