Primary cystic and solid neuroendocrine tumor of the retroperitoneum: A case report.

Rationale: Primary neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) of the retroperitoneum are extremely rare. The purpose of this case report is to highlight the unusual growth pattern and radiologic features of primary retroperitoneal NETs.

Patient Concerns: A 46-year-old woman was found to have a retroperitoneal cystic and solid mass during a physical checkup.

Contrast-enhanced multiple-phase imaging features of intrahepatic mass-forming cholangiocarcinoma and hepatocellular carcinoma with cirrhosis: A comparative study.

The intrahepatic mass-forming cholangiocarcinoma (IMCC) is frequently misdiagnosed as hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in patients with cirrhosis, by numerous radiologists and clinical doctors, which results in the incorrect therapeutic treatment. A retrospective case-control study was conducted, and the contrast-enhanced multiple-phase (CEMP) computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings of 22 pathologically confirmed IMCC patients and 22 HCC controls with underlying liver cirrhosis were analyzed at the present hospital, from January 2010 to December 2015. In addition, serum tests were conducted and clinical symptoms of patients evaluated.
