Initial experience with endovascular treatment of the popliteal aneurysm in high-risk patients yielded modest results. Larger number of patients and further follow-up time is necessary to evaluate the long-term results.
IntroductionInflammatory pseudotumor of the liver represents a fairly uncommon pathology. Although it is a benign tumor, the correct diagnosis can be missed.Case presentationWe report the case of a 55-year-old Caucasian man, who presented with a one-month history of abdominal pain and weight loss. He was diagnosed with a primary liver tumor by computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging. Alpha-fetoprotein levels ranged within normal limits. A right posterior sectorectomy was performed. Histopathology revealed an inflammatory pseudotumor of the liver. Our patient remains in good condition one year later.ConclusionAlthough inflammatory pseudotumor of the liver is usually a benign process, controversy regarding its management still exists. With this case report we review the existing literature and consider hepatectomy as a safe treatment approach.
Extended radical colectomies in young patients and in those where adenomatous polyps coexist will reduce the incidence of metachronous carcinoma. Effective and persistent postoperative surveillance in patients with colorectal cancer will greatly contribute in the detection and treatment of metachronous carcinomas.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
