Von Meyenburg complex (VMC) ( i.e., biliary hamartoma) is a rare congenital disorder characterized by multiple dilated cystic bile ducts, without clear trends in sex or age predominance. Due to the low number of published cases and the lack of recognized guidelines, the management of such patients remains a clinical challenge.
