We report four patients on long-term antiepileptic drugs, without any history of anabolic steroid or oral contraceptive use, who had path-proven hepatic adenomas at our institution. Imaging review of one case is presented here. An exhaustive literature search reveals only four other such case reports, none from the North American continent.

A comprehensive study on the feasibility and diagnostic potential of fluctuation imaging in liver tumor assessment.

Department of Radiology, Seoul National University Hospital, 101 Daehangno, Jongno-gu, Seoul, 03080, Korea.
Ultrasound (US) is a widely used technique for liver disease but has limitations in distinguishing tumors. This study evaluates the clinical efficacy of fluctuational imaging (FLI), a new US method that detects the fluttering sign in liver tumors. We conducted a prospective exploratory study with 120 participants diagnosed with liver tumors through histopathology or standard imaging.

Introduction: Intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms (IPMNs) are diverse premalignant tumors of the pancreas. They progress stepwise from adenoma to carcinoma and offer an opportunity for intervention prior to malignant transformation into pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). The current study aimed to identify differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in invasive PDAC-associated IPMN vs.

Article Synopsis
- Choledochal cysts are congenital bile duct abnormalities classified into five main types, with this case focusing on an intrahepatic variant mistaken for biliary cystadenoma.
- A 35-year-old woman experienced pain and a palpable mass, leading to diagnostic imaging that revealed a complicated cyst affecting her liver's bile ducts.
- Surgical intervention was required due to the cyst's complexity, and while the gallbladder was removed, the cyst could not be entirely separated from the common hepatic duct, highlighting the need for careful evaluation to prevent complications.

This case report details the management of a 29-year-old primigravida who presented at 35 weeks of gestation with abdominal pain and vomiting. The patient exhibited tachycardia and fetal bradycardia, with laboratory findings indicating severe anemia and elevated liver enzymes. An emergency cesarean section was performed due to hemodynamic instability, during which a ruptured hepatocellular adenoma (HCA) was discovered, necessitating an atypical left hepatectomy.

There are several types of microvasculature supplying neoplasms: "newly formed blood vessels" (neoangiogenesis), which are a component of the tumor microenvironment (TME) of invasive carcinoma with wound healing-like reaction; and "pre-existing blood vessels", which are used as tumor-supplying vessels by neoplasms (co-option vessels) and are likely to develop in hypervascularized organs. We herein review the microvasculature of neoplasms of biliary tract with reference to pre-existing vessels and vessel co-options. In the hepatobiliary system, intrahepatic large and extrahepatic bile ducts (large bile ducts) and the gallbladder as well as hepatic lobules are highly vascularized regions.
