Benign liver tumors of the liver comprise a wide range of “mass-forming lesions,” including tumors deriving from the hepatocyte, the cholangiocyte, and the various cells of the vascular system, as well as various tumors of mesenchymal origin and a group of cystic or polycystic diseases of various origin [1–3].
