ABSTRACT: A 1-year old girl who presented with abdominal distension and tachypnoea was found to have a large, palpable abdominal mass extending over the right hemiabdomen. Abdominal ultrasound showed a huge, mixed multicystic and solid mass in the right hemiabdomen and epigastrium. Surgery revealed a massive mesenchymal hamartoma of the liver (MH) arising from the right lobe. Massive intraoperative hemorrhage during mobilization of the tumor necessitated subtotal excision of the tumor after clamping its base. The available literature on MH of the liver is reviewed.
