“…She showed no recurrence for 4 years without postoperative treatment, and long-term follow-up is recommended due to the potential life-long risk of recurrence [ 5 ]. On the other hand, there are some case reports of hepatic MALT lymphoma treated by radiofrequency ablation (RFA) [ 9 , 10 ]. If the liver tumor is small, it may be an indication for RFA, but it cannot be diagnosed correctly without a biopsy.…”

Background Primary hepatic extranodal marginal zone B-cell mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma is very rare, so it is difficult to diagnose preoperatively. And there is no established treatment for hepatic MALT lymphoma. We report herein a case of primary hepatic MALT lymphoma treated by laparoscopic partial hepatectomy, and discuss the usefulness of laparoscopic hepatectomy for a rare liver tumor. Case presentation This patient was a woman in her 60s, who was diagnosed preoperatively as having synchronous liver metastasis from sigmoid colon cancer; therefore, laparoscopic partial hepatectomy was performed. She had a good course after the operation and was discharged on postoperative day 12. However, she was diagnosed pathologically as having primary hepatic MALT lymphoma. A bone marrow biopsy was also performed, and then she was finally diagnosed as having limited-stage primary hepatic MALT lymphoma. She received no postoperative treatment and showed no recurrence for 4 years postoperatively. Conclusions We experienced the good result of the patient with limited-stage primary MALT lymphoma treated by laparoscopic partial hepatectomy. Liver tumors are sometimes misdiagnosed by imaging examinations alone. Laparoscopic hepatectomy has been widespread recently as a minimally invasive procedure, and it may be useful for both diagnosis and treatment.

“…Whereas the most common site of MALT lymphoma is the stomach, MALT lymphomas can arise at any extranodal site and also as primary hepatic MALT lymphoma [ 213 , 214 , 215 ]. Although the etiology of primary hepatic MALT lymphoma remains unknown, most reported cases have implicated chronic inflammatory liver diseases, including hepatitis B or C virus but also EBV, HIV-infections, steatohepatitis, autoimmune hepatitis, liver cirrhosis, systemic lupus erythematosus, or the use of immunosuppressive drugs, [ 198 , 199 , 201 , 202 , 204 , 216 , 217 , 218 ]. Optimal treatment strategies have not been established so far [ 216 , 217 ].…”

The World Federation for Ultrasound in Medicine and Biology (WFUMB) is addressing the issue of incidental findings (IFs) with a series of publications entitled “Incidental imaging findings—the role of ultrasound”. IFs in the liver of newborns and children are rare and much less commonly encountered than in adults; as a result, they are relatively much more frequently malignant and life-threatening, even when they are of benign histology. Conventional B-mode ultrasound is the well-established first line imaging modality for the assessment of liver pathology in pediatric patients. US technological advances, resulting in image quality improvement, contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS), liver elastography and quantification tools for steatosis have expanded the use of ultrasound technology in daily practice. The following overview is intended to illustrate incidentally detected liver pathology covering all pediatric ages. It aims to aid the examiner in establishing the final diagnosis. Management of incidentally detected focal liver lesions (FLL) needs to take into account the diagnostic accuracy of each imaging modality, the patient’s safety issues (including ionizing radiation and nephrotoxic contrast agents), the delay in diagnosis, the psychological burden on the patient and the cost for the healthcare system. Moreover, this paper should help the pediatric clinician and ultrasound practitioner to decide which pathologies need no further investigation, which ones require interval imaging and which cases require further and immediate diagnostic procedures.

“…The cause of primary hepatic MALT lymphoma remains unidentified; however, numerous reported cases have suggested a possible link to chronic inflammatory liver conditions, such as hepatitis B or C virus infections, steatohepatitis, and autoimmune hepatitis [29,[35][36][37][38][39]. The primary standard treatment for early-stage H. pyloriassociated MALT lymphoma in the stomach involves the eradication of H. pylori [36].…”

Diagnosing rare hematological malignancies in the liver is often challenging owing to their infrequency, and confirmation generally necessitates histological examination. Due to the rarity of these lesions, there are limited data concerning their appearance on ultrasound and, specifically, contrast-enhanced ultrasound. In this review, we describe the pathological and ultrasound features of several hematological malignant liver lesions, including lymphoma of the liver and chloroma. Furthermore, two specific forms of liver lymphoma are described: mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma andplasmacytoma of the liver.
