Rare hepatic malignant tumors: dynamic CT, MRI, and clinicopathologic features: with analysis of 54 cases and review of the literature

Diagnostic imaging of hepatic lymphoma

“…CT often shows hypodensity lesion with rim/patchy enhancement in dynamic study. MRI images show the hypointense on T1-weighted images and hyperintense on T2-weighted images, which is common pattern in malignant tumors and convenient for discrimination of the border between normal and lymphoma lesions [1]. …”

“…Hepatic lymphoma is a rare disorder [1,[15][16][17]] that can be classified into primary hepatic lymphoma (PHL), metastatic hepatic lymphoma (MHL), and intravascular lymphoma (IVL). PHL and IVL are extranodular, and MHL can be either nodular-or extranodular lymphomas.…”

“…), detection of potential malignant transformation, and new lesions in chronic liver diseases. To date, significant development of imaging modalities such as ultrasonography (US), computed tomography (CT), and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), in combination with various contrast agent has increased the diagnostic relevance in the context of additional information from the physical examination and biochemical analysis [1]. Developments in imaging include:…”

Primary hepatic malignant fibrous histiocytoma combined with invasion of inferior vena cava

“…Ten literatures were eligible, [3,6,9–16] which contained 41 cases of hepatic MFH with overall survival (Table 1). Among the 41 cases confirmed pathologically, there were 23 males and 18 females.…”
