liver tumer -نوري حنون Flashcards
what’re the begging tumor of the liver ?
1- hemangioma
2- hepatic adenoma
3- folicular nodular hyperplasia
whats the hemangioma ?
its begin tumor & most common liver lesion
consist often multiple of cavernous
dose hemangioma appear with symptoms ?
no its asymptomatic but if the too large it presented as mass
is there is any chance that the tumer become malignant ?
they have little if any malignant potential
how to diagnosis the hemangioma ?
-by the U/S it show the abnormal plexus of the blood vessel (diagnostic)
-if no u/s so CT with contrast
that show peripheral nodular enhancement then central enhancement that means there is delay or slow contrast enhancement due to the the small vessels uptake in the hemangioma
whats the treatment of the hemangioma ?
is its small --- no treatment if large -----contravention either 1-embolism 2-lobe or segmental resection 3- DXT to reduce the size
what’re the indications of the interventional treatment of the hemangioma ?
1- if there is shunting (artery venous shunt) affacting the heart
2-if miss.dignose as malignant vascular tumor
can we do percutaneous biopsy in the state of hemangioma ?
no ,there will be bleeding
whats the hepatic adenoma?
its rare tumor that have malignant potential
could occur in pt who takes contraceptive pills
but also happen with normal liver
how to diagnose hepatic adenoma?
1- by using the U/S and CT
seen as circumscribed solid tumor(رسم خطا حوله)
but couldn’t diagnose by radiology but when take pericutanoeus biopsy its will bleed
2- Angiography
tumor with well develop arterialization
treatment of hepatic adenoma?
resection lobe or a segment
whats focal follicular hyperplasia ?
its rare & unusual tumor of unknown etiology that affected mainly middle age women and may affect normal liver that means no association with the liver disease
whats the pathology of the focal follicular hyperplasia ?
it over growth of the of the functioning liver tissue (hepatocyte & kuppfer )and supported with fibers stoma
How to diagnose the focal follicular hyperplasia ?
- US only show sold tumor
-CT show some details as central scaring in the tumor
and wel vessculrized tumor but this not specific
-so the most useful to dignose this condition is
Sulphur colloid liver scan
*this is positive only for the focal follicular hyperplasia
because the tumor contain both the kuppfer cell and hepatocyte
- but negative for the adenoma ,primary and secondary tumor because they don’t have sufficient number of kuppfer cells
what’re the types of the of the liver malignant tumor ?
1- primary tumor
a) hepatocellular carcinoma
b) cholangiocarcinoma
2- secondary tumor
whats hepatocellular carcinoma ?
its the commonest tumor in the word
attack the middle age 3rd-4th
man are more female (8:1)
whats the main cause of the hepacellular carcinoma ?
its associated with chronic liver especially with HBV& HCV
How for the pt with chronic liver disease screen ?
bu US and alphafetoprotein which hight
what’re the clinical feature of the hepacellular carcinoma ?
- either the pt present with the symptoms of chronic liver disease like
(malaise , weakness, jaundice , ascites,
varical bleed and encephalopathy ) - or anorexia and weight loss of an advanced tumor
how to diagnosis the hepacellular carcinoma ?
US CT and biopsy
whats the treatment of the hepatocellular carcinoma ?
1- lobar or segmental resection 2- liver transplant which depot on -stage, size, site of the tumor -availablity of the donor organ
how the hepacellular carcinoma appear in imaging ?
- its appear as single or multiple mass which is hypo in dense in comparison to the normal liver
- with calcification
- L sign of the cirrhosis
- may be associated with spleenomegly
