Tumores hepáticos incomuns: ensaio iconográfico – Parte 2

Abstract

In cases where typical aspects are shown, the diagnosis of most frequent hepatic lesions can be made with some safety by means of several imaging methods; on the other hand, uncommon lesions generally represent a diagnostic challenge for the radiologist. In the present second part of the study, the authors describe four rare hepatic lesions, as follows: primary hepatic lymphoma, myofibroblastic tumor, primary hepatic neuroendocrine tumor and desmoplastic small round cell tumor, approaching their main characteristics and imaging findings with emphasis on computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging.

Intestinal and appendiceal paracoccidioidomycosis

“…The Brazilian radiological literature has recently highlighted the relevance of imaging methods in the diagnosis of the digestive system diseases ( 1 - 12 ) .…”

Imaging evaluation in metabolic syndrome: beyond steatosis

“…The Brazilian radiological literature has recently been quite concerned with the relevance of imaging methods in the investigation of liver diseases ( 6 , 11 ) . Specifically in cases of steatosis, imaging methods play an important role, as demonstrated by the study developed by Cruz et al ( 12 ) , published in the present issue of Radiologia Brasileira .…”

Teratoma: a set of teeth in the pelvis

“…A series of recent publications in the Brazilian radiological literature have evaluated the role of radiology in the study of abdominal tumors ( 1 - 8 ) .…”
