Health technology The health technology examined in the study was radiofrequency (RF) ablation, a minimally invasive technique for the treatment of malignant liver neoplasms, in particular hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and colorectal liver metastases (CLM). Percutaneous RF ablation involves the insertion of one or more electrodes into the tumour nodule under imaging guidance. A high-frequency ...

Hemangiomas are the most common benign neoplasms affecting the liver. They occur at all ages. Most cases are asymptomatic and do not require any treatment. Rarely, hemangiomas can be pedunculated. If they undergo torsion and infarction, they become symptomatic. Herein; we report the case of a 31 year old male presenting with features of acute appendicitis: continuous right iliac fossa pain, reb...

Several transplantaDitmouse and rat tumors were injured in a reproducible manner by implanting a length of cotton thread in their substance. Normal tissues, including liver, spleen, kidney, and subcutaneous connective tissue, were treated similarly. At the end of 1 week tissues containing thread were removed for histologie study. Consistent ly, the inflammatory response to the foreign body with...

Clear-cell cholangiocarcinoma is a very uncommon variant of cholangiocarcinoma with a largely unknown natural history and prognosis. We report a case of a 51-year-old previously healthy woman presenting with a large liver nodule found on routine imaging. Needle biopsy of the lesion suggested a non-hepatocellular carcinoma. After extensive workup for other primary neoplasms, the patient underwen...

Cystic mesotheliomas are benign neoplasms, often seen in the parietal and visceral peritoneum, omentum and pelvic organs, and are exceedingly rare in the liver. It is however important to be familiar with the radiological findings of this tumour because the signal-intensity and enhancement pattern of this tumor are unusual and not typical for any of the more frequently seen mass lesions. In our...

Purpose: To review the clinical case of deep infiltrative endometriosis in patient with suspicious colorectal cancer. Material and methods: Patient 47 years old complaints pain right hypogastrium for several weeks. Anamnesis laparoscopic surgery infertility, repeated removal mammary fibroadenomas. At initial examination, there is a suspicion primary tumor rectum metastatic lesions liver, pancre...

BACKGROUND Many different surgical techniques have been described for hepatic parenchymal transection. A retrospective analysis of perioperative mortality, length of hospitalization and blood transfused during operation in two patient groups undergoing liver resection was carried out. In group A, we developed a new technique to resect hepatic parenchyma, using an ultrasonic surgical aspirator w...

Termocoagulation by radiofrequency (RF) is widely used for ablation of liver neoplasms. Recently, innovative uses of RF were proposed, as to assist liver resection, to help partial splenectomy, or to treat ruptured hepatocellular carcinoma. A 21 years old man was admitted for massive haemorrhage from a right thoraco-abdominal knife wound. Massive haemothorax was drained but arterial bleeding wa...
