Abstract
Hepatic choristomas (HC) are a rare entity, usually identified during abdominal surgeries. It had been reported in several studies with different presentations. Awareness of this unexpected finding and familiarity of its potential complications and carcinogenesis will improve care delivery when encountered. Surgical treatment should be considered when the choristoma is not attached to the liver, in light of its potential transformation into HCC.
