liver neoplasms/edema

Liver tumours are rare in children and account for about 5% of all tumours in the fetus and newborn. The most frequently occurring are benign vascular tumours and mesenchymal hamartomas although malignancy in the form of hepatoblastoma is a possibility. While the diagnosis can be suspected

OBJECTIVE To quantify rigid and nonrigid motion of liver tumors using reconstructed 3-dimensional (3D) fiducials from stereo imaging during CyberKnife-based stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT). METHODS Twenty-three liver patients treated with 3 fractions of SBRT were used in this study. After

OBJECTIVE To report 2 cases of paclitaxel-related maculopathy manifesting as cystoid macular edema (CME) with late petaloid hyperfluorescence on indocyanine green angiography (IA). METHODS A 74-year-old man (patient 1) undergoing paclitaxel chemotherapy for gastric and metastatic liver cancer and a

OBJECTIVE To understand systemic the influence of stent therapy for inferior vena cava (IVC) obstruction due to advanced liver tumor. METHODS Seven patients with symptomatic IVC obstruction due to advanced primary (n = 4) or secondary (n = 3) liver tumor were subjected to stent therapy. Enrollment

A liver tumor metastatic from a sigmoid colon carcinoma was diagnosed in a 70-year-old man. Because hepatectomy was not indicated, the patient was treated with a combination of oxaliplatin, levofolinate, and fluorouracil (5-FU) (modified FOLFOX 6 regimen). After 15 cycles of chemotherapy, this

We report on 26 infants under 3 months of age with various liver tumors, who were treated in our hospital since 1977 and/or registered in the German Cooperative Pediatric Liver Tumor Study HB-89. 17 of these had an infantile hemangioendothelioma (inf HE), 7 a hepatoblastoma (HB), one a mesenchymal

Tumor scars were identified at pathologic study and magnetic resonance (MR) imaging in ten of 17 (59%) primary liver tumors (nine hepatocellular carcinomas, four giant hemangiomas, two hepatic adenomas, and two cases of focal nodular hyperplasia). Histopathologic examination revealed three types of

OBJECTIVE To differentiate diffuse liver cancer from portal cirrhosis by using ultrasonography. METHODS We analyzed the sonographic images of 15 patients with diffuse liver cancer and 30 patients with portal cirrhosis. RESULTS The patients with diffuse liver cancer showed enlarged liver and obvious

This report describes a patient with hepatic congestion due to right heart failure mimicking liver tumor. The patient had a history of breast cancer and left total mastectomy 30 years ago, tricuspid valve regurgitation and tricuspid valve replacement 4 years ago. Three years ago, abdominal

BACKGROUND Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), also known as noncardiogenic pulmonary edema, is a severe complication in cirrhotic patients undergoing microwave coagulation therapy (MCT) for liver tumor. In this study, cirrhotic patients with ARDS after MCT were compared with others without

A premature infant presented with non-immune hydrops fetalis, a liver mass, thrombocytopenia, and hypofibrinogenemia. Histologic examination of the liver tumor showed an infantile hemangioendothelioma. The clinical features of this case can be explained by anemia, hypoalbuminemia, and coagulopathy.

MR features of 153 proved primary liver tumors (95 malignant, 58 benign) in 55 patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (21), cholangiocarcinoma (seven), carcinosarcoma (one), hepatoblastoma (one), hemangioma (16), hepatic adenoma (four), focal nodular hyperplasia (three), leiomyoma (one), and

OBJECTIVE To assess the value of application of percutaneous radiofrequency ablation (RFA) with artificial hydrothorax for liver cancer in the hepatic dome. METHODS Thirty-two patients with 43 lesions of hepatic malignant tumors in the hepatic dome underwent ultrasound-guided percutaneous

Evaluation of vascular disrupting treatment (VDT) is generally based on tumor size and enhancement on conventional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) which, unfortunately, may be limited in providing satisfactory information. The purpose of the study is to evaluate consecutive changes of 20 rabbit VX2

BACKGROUND Transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) is considered a therapeutic option. It is mostly used in hepatocellular carcinoma or liver colorectal, neuroendocrine or melanoma metastases. Although it is considered a safe procedure, TACE presents complications, such as acute cholecystitis, which
