coincidental occurrence of hepatocellular carcinoma (hcc) and cholangiocarcinoma, known as “collision tumors”, within a cirrhotic liver is rare. herein, we report a case of liver transplantation (lt) in a patient with such collision tumors. our patient was a 56-year-old woman with hepatitis c virus-related cirrhosis and 2 focal hepatic lesions, measuring 1.5 and 3 cm, in the liver segments 8 an...

Isolated hepatic tuberculoma is localized hepatic tuberculosis (TB) without bile duct involvement, which presents as solitary or multiple nodular mass lesion of liver mimicking a neoplastic lesion in radiological evaluation. Clinical presentation and biochemical tests for liver functions show non-specific abnormality, which is not helpful for diagnosis. As the treatment, modality of isolated he...

the goal is assessing the diffusion magnetic resonance imaging (dmri) method effi ciency in characterizing focal hepatic lesions (fhls). about 28-fhl patients were studied in radiology and clinical imaging department of our university hospital using 1.5 tesla mri system between january 2010 and june 2011. patients underwent hepatic mri consisting of dynamic t1- and t2-weighted imaging. the dmri...

Four patients with sonographic suggestion of hepatic hemangioma are studied with Tc99m-labeled RBC scan. The scan findings are compaired with other imaging modalities. Lesions as small as 36 mm could be detected by this method. Tc99m labeled RBC scan is a valuable tool to differentiate hepatic hemangioma from other space occupying lesion of the liver.

four patients with sonographic suggestion of hepatic hemangioma are studied with tc99m-labeled rbc scan. the scan findings are compaired with other imaging modalities. lesions as small as 36 mm could be detected by this method.tc99m labeled rbc scan is a valuable tool to differentiate hepatic hemangioma from other space occupying lesion of the liver.

OBJECTIVE To clarify the validity of the evaluation of the hemodynamics of hepatic lesions < or =20 mm in diameter using contrast-enhanced ultrasonography (CE-US) with Sonazoid. METHODS Sixty-two hepatic lesions in 55 patients with chronic hepatitis or cirrhosis due to hepatitis C virus were studied. We evaluated by quantitative analysis the time intensity curve (TIC) on hepatic lesion and pa...
