Hepatic lymphangiomas are extremely rare; moreover cystic lymphangiomas usually arise in areas such as the neck and axilla, where loose connective tissue allows the expansion of lymphatic channels. The case of a 65-year old male is described, who presented with a solitary lymphangioma in the liver. The lesion was discovered incidentally and due to diagnostic uncertainty was removed surgically. ...

A 60-year-old patient presented with a solitary mass within the right hepatic lobe. Diagnostic imaging revealed a solid tumor on the diameter of 3 cm. In absence of any extrahepatic manifestation and based on FNAC findings the lesion was classisfied a primary hepatic chondroid sarcoma. However, after right hemihepatectomy histologic assessment resulted the final diagnosis of a benign chondroid ...

The inflammatory pseudotumor of the liver is an exceptional hepatic lesion first described in 1953 by Pack et al. (1,2) that mimics a malignant tumor but has benign histology and good clinical outcome. Its exact etiology is still unknown (2-4) but has been associated with some systemic inflammatory disorders (1,3). We present a case of a multiple hepatic inflammatory pseudotumor with spontaneou...

A 33-year-old woman with a history of intravenous cocaine abuse presented with fatigue, nausea, and jaundice. Serologic testing revealed a positive hepatitis C virus (HCV) antibody and HCV RNA. Ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging/magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography showed a partially obstructing lesion in the common hepatic duct, which was confirmed by endoscopic retrograde cholan...

A 73-year-old woman was incidentally found to have a hypervascular nodule in the liver (S5) with imaging. She was subsequently followed under a diagnosis of suspected hepatic hemangioma because of continued enhancement in portal venous phase CT scan (Fig. 1A). Liver function test and tumor marker were within normal limits. Both HBs antigen and HCV antibody were negative. She had no history of t...

We report the case of a 30-year-old eastern European female who presented with right upper quadrant pain. Clinical examination was unremarkable and liver function tests were normal. CT identified a 5 cm lesion in segment V of the liver, which was of homogeneous low density with no calcification or significant enhancement. MRI showed the lesion to be hypointense to liver on T(1) weighted sequenc...

Aneurysms of the hepatic artery are rare. This patient presented to the emergency department with severe epigastric pain and subsequently became haemodynamically unstable. Plain abdominal radiograph showed a ring lesion in the right upper quadrant, ultrasound scan demonstrated a mass with arterial blood flow, and computed tomography revealed a left hepatic artery aneurysm. At surgery, the ruptu...

Enucleation of hepatic tumors is a low-morbidity technique with adequate oncological results that is useful in many clinical settings. Compared with anatomical liver resections, it offers the advantage of maximal hepatic parenchymal preservation. However, some technical adversities may occur during the enucleation of liver tumors, such as difficulty in finding the lesions by intraoperative ultr...

Hepatic infarction is a rare disease because of a dual blood supply in the liver. It is difficult to diagnose clinically without a histopathological examination and imaging examinations are useful. We report a case of 45-yearold woman with diabetes who showed a single round-shaped hepatic infarction nodule in the right liver lobe, which was identified by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and his...

Hepatic adenomatosis is a rare, benign tumour of the liver. It was fi rst described by Flejou et al as multiple adenomas in an otherwise normal liver parenchyma. Although benign, it can present as a diagnostic challenge because the lesions can be diffi cult to distinguish from other hepatic tumours. Patients can be asymptomatic and the diagnosis may only be made incidentally. We describe the ca...
