Imaging performance and preoperative differential diagnosis of multiple myopericytoma in the liver: A case report
MOLECULAR AND CLINICAL ONCOLOGY(2020)
Abstract
Myopericytoma is a rare type of benign tumor, which commonly affects all four limbs. The occurrence of myopericytoma in the liver is extremely rare. Myopericytoma with a size of >1 cm in diameter in the liver has not been previously reported. Due to the limited number of cases, the preoperative diagnosis of liver myopericytoma based on laboratory and imaging examinations is difficult. In the present case report, a patient with multiple myopericytoma in the liver, with a maximum diameter of 4.5 cm was described, with accompanying computed tomography (CT) and positron emission tomography/CT (PET/CT) imaging profiles. The aim of the present report was to discuss the preoperative differential diagnosis between myopericytoma and other common liver neoplasms, such as intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma or liver metastasis.
