With the recent advances in imaging techniques, increased numbers of hepatic lesions are found today, and surgeons are asked frequently for the best course of management. Benign hepatic tumors sometimes cause life-threatening complications and more often trigger disabling or annoying symptoms in otherwise healthy individuals. Although various imaging techniques are quite accurate in identifying cysts and hemangiomas, other benign hepatic lesions, such as adenomas, focal nodular hyperplasia and other benign solid tumors, cannot be differentiated from malignant lesions with a high degree of confidence.
随着成像技术的最新进展,如今发现的肝脏病变数量有所增加,外科医生经常被问及最佳的治疗方案。良性肝脏肿瘤有时会导致危及生命的并发症,并且更常引发原本健康个体的致残或恼人症状。尽管各种成像技术在识别囊肿和血管瘤方面相当准确,但其他良性肝脏病变,如腺瘤、局灶性结节性增生和其他良性实性肿瘤,无法与恶性病变进行高度可靠的鉴别。
