Telangiectatic adenoma is a new classification of a hepatic lesion. It was previously named telangiectatic focal nodular hyperplasia but it is in fact true adenoma with telangiectatic features. We report here a case of telangiectatic adenoma in a 72-year-old woman. The image features are lack of a central scar, a heterogeneous lesion, hyperintensity in T1-weighted MR images, strong hyperintensi...

An inflammatory pseudotumor is a rare benign lesion consisting of fibrous tissue and inflammatory cells. Although it can appear anywhere in the body, the most common site for this lesion is the lung.1 The hepatic counterpart was first described in 1953 by Pack and Baker.2 Since then only about 50 cases have been reported in the literature.3 The clinical and pathologic features have been well de...

INTRODUCTION Solitary necrotic nodule of the liver is a rare lesion, with similar radiologic findings to those of hepatic metastases or other liver masses. CASE PRESENTATION We here report a case of a 30-year-old male with hepatic solitary necrotic nodule discovered after an episode of acute abdominal pain and high grade fever. Routine laboratory data revealed leukocytosis and abnormal liver ...

BACKGROUND Hepatic pseudolesions detected by helical computed tomography (CT) are not rare, but it is difficult to make a final diagnosis when the hepatic lesion is complicated by the presence of greatly elevated alpha fetoprotein (AFP). Clinical treatment of non-typical hepatic pseudolesions complicated by greatly elevated AFP should confirm the diagnosis and minimize trauma. CASE PRESENTATI...

Metastasis is a rare presentation of non-secretory paraganglioma. Consequently, there is no standard of care for the treatment of metastatic malignant paraganglioma. The most widely used chemotherapy regimen for non-resectable cases includes cyclophosphamide, vincristine, and dacarbazine (CVD). CVD has been previously studied with variable therapeutic response. However, yttrium-90 (Y90) radioem...

Conservative management of solid abdominal organ injuries has been increasing and challenging trauma surgeons. This case report describes a successful non-operative management of a grade V renal lesion associated to a grade III hepatic lesion. Such lesions have not been described in conjunction in the revised literature.

An intact hepatic artery is the gateway to successful hepato-biliary surgery. Introduction of laproscopic cholecystectomy (LC) has stimulated a renewed interest in the anatomy of hepatic artery. In this case report we have highlighted importance of variations of right hepatic artery in terms of origin and course We present a rare asymptomatic case of liver atrophy due to an intraoperative lesio...

Primary hepatic neuroendocrine tumors (PHNETs) are extremely rare neoplasms. Herein, we report a case of a 70-year-old man with a hepatic mass. The non-contrast computed tomography (CT) image showed a low-density mass, and dynamic CT images indicated the enhancement of the mass in the arterial phase and early washout in the late phase. F18- fluorodeoxyglucose (18F-FDG) positron emission tomogra...

Most hepatic artery pseudoaneurysms (HAPA) are post traumatic, and non-traumatic pseudoaneurysm is rarely reported. It is a potentially life threatening vascular disorder and difficult to diagnose before rupture. Early diagnosis and prompt nonoperative intervention of this lesion could be life saving. The authors report the case of a patient with hemobilia caused by ruptured right hepatic arter...

Abstract Background Primary pediatric liver tumors are scarce. Undifferentiated embryonal sarcoma of the (UESL) embraces nine to fifteen percent hepatic neoplasms. Mesenchymal hamartoma (MHL) is second most prevalent benign neoplasm following infantile hemangioendothelioma. Case presentation A 6-year-old female child presented with vague diffuse abdominal pain and palpable right lumbar mass by ...
