Capecitabine‐related liver lesions: sinusoidal dilatation mimicking liver metastasis
نویسندگان
چکیده
A 30-year-old lady treated with capecitabine for primary colon adenocarcinoma developed liver lesions suspicious for metastasis. Liver biopsies showed sinusoidal dilatation thought to be secondary to capecitabine. This case highlights the importance of differentiating between benign and malignant liver lesions during cancer surveillance preventing unnecessary liver resections for benign disease.

Chemotherapy-Associated Hepatopathy in Korean Colorectal Cancer Liver Metastasis Patients: Oxaliplatin-Based Chemotherapy and Sinusoidal Injury
BACKGROUND Although chemotherapy-related hepatic injury has been reported in colorectal cancer liver metastasis (CRLM) patients, the morphologic changes caused by chemotherapeutic agents and the effect of chemotherapy on postoperative outcome remain ill-defined. A comprehensive review of the morphologic changes in the post-chemotherapy non-neoplastic liver was performed and the clinical effect ...
متن کاملSevere hepatic sinusoidal obstruction associated with oxaliplatin-based chemotherapy in patients with metastatic colorectal cancer.
BACKGROUND In advanced metastatic colorectal adenocarcinoma, the addition of a neo-adjuvant systemic treatment to surgery might translate into a survival advantage, although this is yet to be confirmed by ongoing randomized trials. The objective of this study was to assess the effects of preoperative systemic chemotherapy on the morphology of non-tumoral liver. PATIENTS AND METHODS A large se...
متن کاملA Reappraisal of Chemotherapy-Induced Liver Injury in Colorectal Liver Metastases before the Era of Antiangiogenics
Background and Aims. Chemotherapy of colorectal liver metastases can induce hepatotoxicity in noncancerous liver. We describe these lesions and assess risk factors and impacts on postresection morbidity and mortality in naive patients to chemotherapy before the era of bevacizumab. Methods. Noncancerous liver tissue lesions were analysed according to tumour, chemotherapy, surgery, and patient ch...
متن کاملLipopeliosis: fat induced sinusoidal dilatation in transplanted liver mimicking peliosis hepatis.
A distinct peliosis-like lesion arose in the liver allograft of a 51 year old man. This lesion was caused by necrotic, fat-laden hepatocytes that released fat globules into the sinusoids. These then became strikingly distended with cysts, thus mimicking peliosis hepatitis. It is suggested that this lesion be called lipopeliosis.
متن کاملHepatic toxicities associated with the use of preoperative systemic therapy in patients with metastatic colorectal adenocarcinoma to the liver.
Colorectal cancer patients with isolated liver metastasis are potentially cured with surgical resection. Recent advances in systemic chemotherapy have increased the ability to convert unresectable metastatic liver lesions to resectable lesions. The cost in toxicity of these therapeutic advances is increasingly being recognized. Numerous reports have demonstrated an association between irinoteca...
