Article Abstract

The biliary cystadenocarcinoma is a rare liver neoplasm with a preoperative difficult diagnosis to make, but increased by ultrasonography. Is reported the case of a caucasian male 78 years old, operated 11 years previously for partial resection of a benign liver cyst. Recurrent cholangitis and obstructive jaundice required a reoperation for right hepatectomy. Microscopic examination showed a malignant transformation in cystadenocarcinoma.

Rationale: Multilocular cystic hemangioma is a rare benign tumor classified as an atypical hemangioma. Currently, there are limited imaging reports available, and the imaging characteristics can be challenging to distinguish from other malignant multilocular cystic liver diseases such as cystadenocarcinoma, necessitating confirmation through pathological diagnosis. Here, we discuss the imaging features of 3 cases of multilocular cystic hemangiomas.

Article Synopsis
  • Mucinous cystic neoplasms of the liver (MCN-L) are typically benign and asymptomatic.
  • Rarely, MCN-L can lead to serious complications like jaundice and acute abdominal pain, sometimes due to cyst prolapse or rupture.
  • A case is presented where a patient with MCN-L experienced these complications, but surgical treatment resulted in successful management and normal follow-up imaging.

Article Synopsis
  • A 72-year-old man diagnosed with biliary cystadenocarcinoma underwent two surgeries over 21 years for intrahepatic recurrence after an initial removal of the tumor.
  • After the first surgery which included the removal of part of the liver and bile ducts, he experienced a recurrence which led to two more partial resections of the liver in the following years.
  • He is currently healthy, having survived for over 21 years since the first operation, which highlights the effectiveness of hepatic resection as a treatment option for this type of cancer.

Neuropilin 1 (NRP1/CD304) is a typical membrane-bound co-receptor for vascular endothelial growth factor, semaphorin family members and viral severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). However, NRP1 expression levels across cancer types and the potential role of SARS-CoV-2 infection in patients with cancer are not clear. Online databases, such as The Cancer Genome Atlas database of Human Protein Atlas, Gene Expression Profiling Interactive Analysis and cBioPortal were used for the expression analysis in this study.
