Biliary hamartomas are composed of small disorganised clusters of dilated cystic bile ducts lined by a single layer of cuboidal cells and surrounded by an abundant fibrocollagenous stroma . Although they may communicate with the biliary tree, they generally do not. They are thought to arise from embryonic bile duct remnants that have failed to involute.
