متن کاملCoexistence of Pericardialand Hepatic Hemangiomas
Pericardial hemangioma is very rare and their coincidence with other visceral hemamgiomas is exceptional. We are reporting a 72-year-old man with an incidentally discovered pericardial hemangioma during coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) and mitral valve replacement surgery and a prior history of multiple hepatic cavernous hemangiomas. This case has been reported due to its extreme rarity. To ...

BACKGROUND In oncologic patients, the liver is the most common target for metastases. An accurate detection and characterization of focal liver lesions in patients with known primary extrahepatic malignancy are essential to define management and prognosis. OBJECTIVES To assess the diagnostic accuracy of the split-bolus multidetector-row computed tomography (MDCT) protocol in the characterizat...
متن کاملTransient washout of hepatic hemangiomas: Potential pitfall mimicking malignancy
Hemangiomas are the most common tumor of the liver and distinguishing them from malignancy is important. This is a report of 3 hemangiomas in 2 patients that exhibit transient washout of gadoxetate disodium (Eovist), relative to blood pool and liver parenchyma, a characteristic that is used to diagnose hepatocellular carcinoma in at-risk patients. It is important to recognize that high-flow hem...
