We report here a case with four black nodules on a smooth liver surface. The cystically
dilated part of the intralobular bile duct of the microhamartoma contained bile pigments.
Neither liver cysts nor cystic kidney were found. Spicular processes from the dilated
bile duct were attached directly to the liver cell cords, seemingly to receive the
secreted bile juice from the bile canaliculi. A convoluted tubular bile duct communicated
with an interlobular terminal bile duct in the neighbouring portal triad. Thus, the
so-called microhamartoma had not developed separately in the liver acini but had arisen
in connection with both the liver cell cords and the terminal bile duct as part of
the still functioning bile duct.
