They often present as multiple lesions on liver surface which resembles metastatic lesions. We report a case of acute calculous cholecystitis ultimately diagnosed to have asymptomatic multiple biliary hamartomas.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Case description:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A 42-year-old male with no co-morbidities presented with pain in upper abdomen associated with fever and vomiting. Contrast enhanced computed tomography (CECT) of abdomen showed acute calculous cholecystitis, hepatomegaly with fatty changes in liver. On laparoscopy the liver was found to have grey-white nodular lesions of about 0.5 cm in diameter scattered on the surface of both the lobes. One of the lesion was biopsied along with cholecystectomy.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Discussion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Biliary hamartoma commonly referred to as \u201cvon Meyenburg complexes\u201d are uncommon lesions found in the liver which are usually asymptomatic. In this case the patient presented with symptoms of acute cholecystitis but the biopsy report from liver lesions proved to be benign biliary hamartoma which on initial impression looked like multiple liver secondaries.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>We have described a case of an adult with multiple biliary hamartoma which was an incidental finding.
