Biliary cystadenocarcinoma is a very rare malignant cystic tumor of the liver, which is often misdiagnosed due to a poor recognition of it. We report a case of a 60-year-old man with biliary cystadenocarcinoma with his real time contrast enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) characteristics compared to those of computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), which were correlated with the surgical and pathologic findings. Cystic wall enhancement, internal septations and intra-cystic solid portions in the arterial phase were observed on CEUS after contrast agent injection. The enhancement was washed out progressively and depicted as hypo-enhancement in the portal and late phases. CT revealed a large irregular cystic lesion in the left liver lobe with no clear septations and solid components. MRI showed an irregular cystic occupying lesion with septations.

Article Synopsis
- - A 63-year-old woman with ovarian serous cystadenocarcinoma achieved complete remission after surgery and treatment but later developed liver metastasis that led to rare gastrointestinal complications, including gastric outlet obstruction and jaundice.
- - Imaging and biopsies confirmed the liver metastasis was linked to her original ovarian cancer diagnosis, which showed that the cancer had recurred despite initial treatment success.
- - The case highlights the necessity of a collaborative medical approach for managing unusual metastatic cases in ovarian cancer and the importance of ongoing patient monitoring and care to improve treatment outcomes.

Macrophages in the tumor microenvironment, termed tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs), promote the progression of various cancer types. However, many mechanisms related to tumor-stromal interactions in epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) progression remain unclear. High-grade serous ovarian carcinoma (HGSOC) is the most malignant EOC subtype.

Biliary cystadenomas are uncommon lesions with clinical and radiological characteristics that overlap with other cystic liver lesions. Here, we intended to discuss a biliary cystadenoma found in a 37-year-old female patient who had been treated for a liver abscess and had been sent to our clinic with a long-term hydatid cyst diagnosis.

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.
