Tumor markers such as carbohydrate antigen 19-9 (CA19-9) are generally useful in ruling out malignancy of hepatic cysts. The patient was a 72-year-old man who had a ruptured liver cyst in the right liver, which had been noted since he was 67 years old at another hospital. The initial laboratory tests demonstrated elevated CA19-9 (193 784.

Anisakidae parasitism is a prevalent disease in wild populations of Coilia nasus, and can result in a significant loss of germplasm resources. To elucidate the immune response mechanism of C. nasus livers to Anisakidae infection, we collected and analysed 18 parasitic and 18 non-parasitic livers at gonadal developmental stages II, III, and V using histopathology, molecular biology and transcriptome methods.

Introduction And Importance: Simple hepatic cysts, common benign liver conditions, are increasingly detected incidentally due to advancements in imaging technologies. While typically asymptomatic, complications such as compression of neighboring structures can arise, presenting unique diagnostic and management challenges. We present a doubly complicated case of a massive non-parasitic liver cyst in a 61-year-old female patient, manifesting with dyspnea and compression of the inferior vena cava.

Background: Mucinous cystic neoplasms of the liver (MCN-L) including biliary cystadenomas (BCA) and biliary cystadenocarcinomas (BCAC) are rare cystic lesions that comprise less than 5% of all liver cysts and affect only a small subset of individuals. We herein review the current evidence regarding the clinical presentation, imaging characteristics, tumor markers, pathological findings, clinical management, and prognosis of MCN-L.
Methods: A comprehensive review of the literature was performed using MEDLINE/Pubmed and Web of Science databases.

Introduction And Importance: Primary squamous cell carcinoma (PSCC) of liver is quite rare and very few cases reported in literature. It has high metastatic rate with poor prognosis. The pathogenesis is unclear, but is generally considered to be correlated with the long-term inflammation or metaplasia of biliary epithelial cells or congenital cyst of the liver.
