Evaluation of hepatic lesions in 30 proven cases of MEN-syndrome
نویسندگان
چکیده
Aim MEN syndrome is one of the most important familial causes of neuroendocrine tumours. Radiological screening and follow-up for syndrome-related tumours play an important role in the life-long surveillance. Liver metastases (LM) from neuroendocrine tumours are common (75%) and significantly reduce the prognosis. Characterisation of liver lesions in these patients is a challenge for radiologists as LM are difficult to differentiate from benign liver lesions such as of haemangioma. In this study we aimed to give an overview of the radiological presentation of LM in MEN patients by different imaging modalities.
