Hepatic Lipoma: A Case Report

Year 2014, Volume: 15 Issue: 1, 41 - 43, 01.04.2014

Abstract

Hepatic lipomas are rare benign tumours. They are usually asymptomatic regardless of size and are discovered incidentally. Histologically these lesions consist of mature adipose tissue and have no risk of malignant degeneration. The imaging appearance of lipomas is characteristic. A 42-year-old woman was admitted to the hospital because of dyspeptic symptoms. Abdominal ultrasound (US) examination was performed and solid, homogenous, hyperechoic, well delineated tumor mass in right liver lobe was revealed. Magnetic resonance (MR) imaging demonstrated the same lesion on T1 and T2 weighted images as hyperintense mass. The lesion was homogeneously hypointense and did not show enhancement on postcontrast fat-suppressed T1-weighted images. The final radiological diagnosis was hepatic lipoma according to US and MR image findings.

KARACİĞER LİPOMU: OLGU SUNUMU

Year 2014, Volume: 15 Issue: 1, 41 - 43, 01.04.2014

Abstract

Karaciğerde lipom nadir görülen benign tümörlerdir. Bu lezyonlar genellikle boyutlarına bağlı olmaksızın bulgu vermezler ve rastlantısal olarak saptanırlar. Histolojik olarak bu lezyonlar matür adipoz dokudan oluşur ve malign dejenerasyon riski yoktur. Lipomlar karakteristik görüntüleme bulgularına sahiptir. Kırkiki yaşında kadın hasta dispeptik yakınmalar ile hastanemize başvurdu. Hastaya abdominal ultrasonografi (US) yapıldı ve karaciğerde sağ lobda iyi sınırlı, solid, homojen, hiperekoik kitle lezyonu saptandı. Magnetik rezonans (MR) görüntülemede aynı lezyon T1 ve T2 ağırlıklı görüntülerde hiperintens kitle olarak izlendi. Kitle lezyonu postkontrastlı yağ baskılı T1 ağırlıklı görüntülerde homojen hipointens olup kontrast tutulumu göstermedi. US ve MR görüntüleme bulguları değerlendirildiğinde son radyolojik tanı karaciğerde lipom olarak kondu
