We present clinical, radiographic, and sonographic findings in 3 children with hepatic mesenchymal hamartoma, a rare benign tumor of childhood. The presence of round hyperechoic parietal nodules within the cystic spaces of the hamartomas is a new sonographic finding.

β¦ Synopsis
A case of hepatic mesenchymal hamartoma diagnosed prenatally with ultrasound and confirmed histologically post-delivery is presented. Although histologically benign, this lesion resulted in fetal demise secondary to congestive cardiac failure in the third trimester. The development of non-immune hydrops in association with a fetal hepatic mesenchymal hamartoma is a poor prognostic sign for perinatal survival.

The cytologic appearance of mesenchymal hepatic hamartoma in a 2-yr-old boy is described. Smears disclosed small groups and isolated, benign-appearing spindle cells admixed with scarce amounts of myxoid stroma and normal ductal cells and hepatocytes. Although the findings were nonspecific, cytology
We report on an uncommon entity, the so-called ''chest wall chondromatous hamartoma'' or ''mesenchymal hamartoma of the chest wall'' (MHCW), diagnosed by fine-needle aspiration (FNA) cytology in a 6-mo-old boy. Radiologic features were those of an aggressive lesion with rib expansion and destruction
