RESUMO

PURPOSE: To describe the clinical and imaging findings of hepatocellular carcinoma with neuroendocrine differentiation, which is an extremely rare variant of hepatocellular carcinoma. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We collected five patients who had histopathologically proven hepatocellular carcinoma with neuroendocrine differentiation, and described morphologic feature, enhancement pattern of tumors, extrahepatic manifestation and clinical findings. RESULTS: At CT, the tumor size ranged from 8 to 17 cm (mean : 12 cm) in maximum diameter. The tumor margin was well-defined and smooth in four patients and all tumors were heterogeneously hypoattenuating. Four tumor showed rim enhancement on arterial and portal phases. Local invasion to the portal vein, intrahepatic duct and gallbladder were seen. Extrahepatic manifestations included hepatic metastases, lymph node metastasis. At ultrasonography, the tumor showed heterogeneously hyperechoic in all patients and hypoechoic rim was found in four patients. Of four patients who were followed up, one survived for 16 months after initial diagnosis, while the other three died within 3 months after initial diagnosis. CONCLUSION: As described above, clinical and imaging findings of hepatocellular carcinoma with neuroendocrine differentiation were not specific. However, this rare variant of hepatocellular carcinoma could be considered when hepatic tumor is found in an advanced stage and shows persistent rim enhancement at CT.

RESUMO

PURPOSE: To prospectively assess the utility of the three-dimensional T1 weighted magnetic resonance cholangiography (MRC) with Gd-EOB-DTPA (Primovist(R)) in patients suspected of having a mild common bile duct obstruction. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A total of 30 patients suspected of having a mild common bile duct obstruction were enrolled in this study. A T2 weighted MRC and a three-dimensional T1 weighted MRC with Gd-EOB-DTPA (Primovist(R)) were performed. Within 48 h of the MRC, we performed direct cholangiographies by way of an endoscopic retrograde cholangiography and a surgical cholangiography. Reviews of the data by two experienced radiologists were in consensus. RESULTS: Within 40-60 min of the injection of contrast fluid, the contrast showed the maximum intensity within a common bile duct in 26 of the 30 patients (87%). However, the contrast was poorly visible for as long as 2 hours after injection in 4 of the 30 patients (13%). The sensitivity, specificity, as well as the positive and negative predictive values of the three-dimensional T1 weighted MR cholangiography were 92%, 40%, 88%, and 50%, respectively. CONCLUSION: The three-dimensional, T1 weighted MRC with Gd-EOB-DTPA (Primovist(R)) may be a useful ancillary diagnostic modality for evaluating a patient with mild common bile duct obstruction.
