Popis: Background: The von Meyenburg complexes (VMC) are a rare clinicopathological entity. They are usually asymptomatic and are presented as multiple small-sized cystic liver lesions. Ultrasonography, CT and MRI are used for diagnosis. Case report: A 74-years old female patient with previous oncologic surgeries was admitted to our department with clinical, laboratory and imaging findings of acute cholecystitis and cystic lesions in the liver. A laparoscopic cholecystectomy with liver biopsy was performed. Liver histology revealed bile duct hamartomas (von Meyenburg complexes). Conclusion: VMC represent a diagnostic problem in patients with oncologic history because they are difficult to be distinguished from liver metastases.
