Abstract
We herein present a case involving a 41-year-old woman in whom ultrasound examination revealed multiple liver hemangiomas more than 3 years ago. Follow-up ultrasound examination revealed that the masses had significantly increased; the largest was located in the right lobe (about 8.2 cm × 7.4 cm × 6.0 cm). Abdominal multidetector computed tomography revealed multiple well-circumscribed, heterogeneous, hypodense masses (largest, 6.4 cm × 6.3 cm × 5.0 cm) with significant contrast enhancement during the arterial and portal phases and with contrast wash-out and peripheral enhancement during the delayed phases. Magnetic resonance images demonstrated multiple well-circumscribed, heterogeneous, hypointense hepatic masses with significant contrast enhancement (largest, 6.4 cm × 6.5 cm × 5.1 cm); multiple enlarged porta lymph nodes; and multiple slightly enlarged retroperitoneal lymph nodes. Histological and immunohistochemical examination of the right mass biopsy specimen suggested a malignant neoplasm that had originated from a neuroendocrine cell type (grade 2 well-differentiated neuroendocrine carcinoma). After performing a systemic examination to exclude metastasis from an extrahepatic primary site, we considered that the masses h...Continue Reading
