Segment hepatic herniation through a diaphragm defect simulating basal lung nodes

چکیده
Methods A 51 year old female non-smoker, who had high blood pressure, was diagnosed with left lobe liver abscess, was suspicioned as carcinoma of pancreatic head. Definitive diagnosis was liver abscess and basal right lung node. Additional thoracic tests included a CT without contrast showing a node in the right lung inferior lobe, measuring 4x3 cm in diameter anterio-posteriorly and 4x5 cm in diameter transversally. Respiratory function tests were optimal; thus it was decided to achieve a diagnostictherapeutical surgical procedure of the lung nodes in order to make a differential diagnosis of primary pulmonary tumor or metastatic lesions of another type of lesion in liver.
