Diaphragmatic and paradiaphragmatic tumors and pseudotumors

Anatomic variations of the liver surface detected by the multidedector computed tomography

“…If a question stil remains, decubitus and expiratory CT sections are also said to help. On expiration, the the nodular diaphragmatic slip will decrease in size [1][2][3][4][5].…”

“…Accessory hepatic fissures, unlike the major fissures, are limited to the superior aspect of the liver near the diaphragmatic dome [2,3]. They are formed by the invagination of the muscular diaphragm into the liver.…”

“…Subdiaphragmatic fat and the peritoneum accompany the muscular diaphragm in the accessory fissure, and, therefore, when ascites is present, it can extend into the accessory fissures. On sectional imaging modalities, the accessory fissures are seen as single or multiple thin lines projecting inward from the periphery of the liver [1][2][3][4][5].…”

Pathologie Pariétale Et Diaphragmatique

“…Parmi les tumeurs bénignes, les lipomes [9,81,89] sont les plus fréquents et doivent être différenciés des amas graisseux péridiaphragmatiques ou des hernies de graisse abdominale ou rétropéritonéale [80]. On peut également rencontrer des tumeurs solides, comme les léiomyomes, les fi bromes et les neurofi bromes, et des tumeurs kystiques [6,78] qui peuvent être acquises ou congénitales (kystes mésothéliaux, kystes La radiographie thoracique montrait une « surélévation » du diaphragme.…”

Imaging of thoracoabdominal masses: The difficulty of compartmentalization

“…The capability for direct sagittal and coronal imaging in MR has greatly improved the possibility for exact localization of the mass [4]. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the contribution of MRI in assessing the spatial relations of a tumor adjacent to the diaphragm.…”
