“…It had been reported that the SNN lesions could reduce or disappear after conservative treatment. So, if SNN is highly suspected, surgical resection should be avoided [ 9 , 10 ]. Therefore, a correct diagnosis before the operation is crucial.…”

Background To summarize the characteristics of solitary necrotic nodules (SNN) in the liver observed under contrast-enhanced ultrasonography (CEUS). Methods Conventional ultrasonography (US) and CEUS were performed in 24 patients who were confirmed to have SNN by pathological assessment. The US data and dynamic enhancement patterns of CEUS were recorded and retrospectively analyzed. Results Ten of 24 patients underwent surgical resection, while the other 14 patients underwent a puncture biopsy to be confirmed as SNN. Among the 24 patients, 13 patients had a single lesion and 11 patients had multiple lesions. The largest lesion was selected for CEUS examination for patients with multiple lesions. Eleven patients presented no enhancement in all three phases, while the other 13 patients presented with a peripheral thin rim-like enhancement in the arterial phase, an iso-enhancement in the portal phase and delayed phase. However, no enhancement in the interior of the lesions was detected during three phases of CEUS. Conclusions SNN has characteristic findings on the CEUS, which play an important role in the differential diagnoses of liver focal lesions.

The US data and dynamic enhancement patterns of CEUS were recorded and retrospectively analyzed.Results:All patients underwent CEUS, and of these, 10 patients underwent surgical resection, while 14 patients underwent a puncture biopsy to confirm SNN. Among the 24 patients, 13 patients had a single lesion and 11 patients had multiple lesions，the largest lesion was selected for CEUS examination.

“…Le traitement du NNS est chirurgical. Certaines équipes préconisent une surveillance radiologique après preuve histologique par ponction biopsie [ 5 ]. Cependant, la nécrose de coagulation peut être très difficile à différencier d'une nécrose tumorale portant à tort ce diagnostic.…”

Les lésions hépatiques nodulaires sont majoritairement tumorales. Le nodule nécrotique solitire du foie est rare. Le diagnostic preopératoire est difficile. Il s'agit d'une femme âgée de 43 ans qui était opérée d'un adénocarcinome du rectum métastatique au foie opéré. Le scanner abdominal de surveillance a révélé un nodule hépatique d'allure métastatique. Le second cas est celui d'un homme de 56 ans, admis pour cholécystectomie avec découverte per-opératoire d'un nodule hépatique. Dans les deux cas, le nodule hépatique était sous capsulaire et a été réséqué. L'examen anatomopathologique posait le diagnostic de nodule nécrotique solitaire du foie. Le nodule nécrotique non spécifique du foie est une lésion qui doit être évoquée, même dans un contexte néoplasique. Une caractérisation par l'imagerie et une ponction biopsie des lésions hépatiques peut être utile.
