Metastatic rectal adenocarcinoma to the liver associated with focal nodular hyperplasia.

چکیده
A 45-year-old female patient underwent right hemihepatectomy for metastatic rectal adenocarcinoma. Preoperative imaging demonstrated an area of focal nodular hyperplasia (FNH) in segment VIII and metastatic carcinoma in segment VI of the liver. Gross and microscopic examination of the former lesion showed features typical of FNH with an intralesional metastatic adenocarcinoma. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first reported case of metastatic adenocarcinoma located within a lesion of FNH. The possibility of a pathogenetic association behind this occurrence is discussed.

Focal nodular hyperplasia vs. hemangioma: computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging findings.
Focal nodular hyperplasia (FNH) and hemangioma are benign and generally asymptomatic hepatic tumors. With distinctive imaging findings on dynamic computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), differentiation of these benign hepatic tumors from metastases can be made. We described imaging findings of these hepatic lesions in a 57-year-old man who presented with rectal adenocarci...

Focal nodular hyperplasia and nodular regenerative hyperplasia are occasionally seen in patients with hepatic venous outflow obstruction as a consequence of circulatory stress in the liver. In addition, neoplastic processes such as hepatic adenoma, hepatocellular carcinoma, and metastatic disease may arise in these patients. Histologic evaluation is necessary when imaging modalities are unable ...
متن کاملFocal nodular hyperplasia that mimicked a liver metastasis from a soft tissue sarcoma: a case report
BACKGROUND Imaging modalities (computed tomography (CT), ultrasonography, and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)) have only limited ability to distinguish liver focal nodular hyperplasia (FNH) from metastatic liver tumors. Here, we report a patient who underwent surgery for benign FNH that mimicked a liver metastasis from soft tissue sarcoma (STS). CASE PRESENTATION A 23-year-old man with a his...
متن کاملMetastatic renal cell carcinoma within a hepatic focal nodular hyperplasia: a case report and review of the literature.
A patient with microscopic metastatic renal cell carcinoma within liver focal nodular hyperplasia (FNH) is reported here. The initial CT scan was classic for liver FNH yet the following liver resection showed a microscopic metastatic renal cell carcinoma (0.48 cm) within the liver nodule. FNH in a patient with existing primary tumor probably warrants further investigation as the coexistence of ...

INTRODUCTION Computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging are able to demonstrate and to diagnose hepatic focal nodular hyperplasia when a typical pattern of a well-circumscribed lesion with a central scar is present.Our aim is to propose the split-bolus multidetector-row computed tomography technique as an alternative to the conventional triphasic technique in the detection and character...
