Comparison Between Neutrophil-Lymphocyte Ratio and Systemic Immune-Inflammation Index as Predictors of One-Year Survival in Patients with Untreated Advanced Hepatocellular Carcinoma.

Background: Patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) generally only come for treatment when cancer has reached an advanced stage, with very limited treatment options. There has not been an accurate predictor marker to be able to identify which group of patients may have better survival. This study wanted to analyze the role of the inflammatory status indices as predictors of 1-year survival in patients with advanced HCC who did not undergo therapy.

Immunohistochemical Staining on an Excision Biopsy Specimen as a Diagnostic Modality for Rare Idiopathic Hepatocellular Adenoma: A Case Report.

Hepatocellular adenoma is an extremely rare benign tumor of the liver which predominantly in young women. Its rare incidence with estimated 3-4 cases per 1.000.

Evaluation of Acoustic Radiation Force Impulse (ARFI) for Fibrosis Staging in Chronic Liver Diseases.

Background: acoustic radiation force impulse (ARFI) is a new proposed noninvasive method for liver fibrosis staging. Integrated with B-mode ultrasonography, ARFI can be used to assess liver tissue condition. However its diagnostic accuracy is still being continuously evaluated.

Riedel's Lobe: Clinical Importance of a Rare Variant in Liver Morphology.

Riedel's lobe is a normal variant form of right liver lobe rarely found. Here we report a case of 38 years old female with an incidental finding not revealed in physical examination, but then known to have hepatomegaly by gynecological ultrasonography. Diagnosis of Riedel's lobe was strengthened by similar results on hepatobiliary ultrasonography, abdominal MRI, and diagnostic laparoscopy.
