Multiple biliary hamartomas (MBHs) are a rare source of cystic lesions of the liver that radiologic detection is difficult, because of its tiny size. We report the case of a 64-year-old woman, with recurrent abdominal pain. The ultrasonographic configuration in this patient showed multiple cystic hepatic lesions. However, the diagnosis of MBH was made by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (MRCP). A regular follow-up of patient presenting this benign disease is recommended because of its potential for malignant conversion.
