A 20-year-old female patient presented with two masses located in the left liver. In this patient, a computed tomography (CT) scan revealed a hypodense mass and a second well-defined mass with a calcified nodule in the left hepatic lobe. No enhancements were apparent in or around the masses. A laparotomy was performed due to the patient's symptoms, namely, the atypical CT findings and a risk of rupture of the subcapsular lesion. The operation revealed two masses in the left hepatic lobe and a left liver resection was subsequently performed. One of the masses involved segment III and the other mass was located in segment IV. The histopathologic findings supported a diagnosis of collagenous nodule mixed simple cyst and hemangioma. A diagnosis of collagenous nodule mixed simple hepatic cyst is extremely rare and radiologically mimics a teratoma, hepatolithiasis, parasitic cyst, or hemangioma. Although hepatic hemangiomas are the most common benign tumors found in the liver, the present case showed atypical radiographic features.
一名20岁女性患者出现两个位于左肝的肿块。在该患者中,计算机断层扫描(CT)显示左肝叶有一个低密度肿块以及另一个边界清晰且伴有钙化结节的肿块。肿块内部及周围未见明显强化。由于患者出现症状,即非典型的CT表现以及包膜下病变有破裂风险,遂进行了剖腹手术。手术发现左肝叶有两个肿块,随后进行了左肝切除术。其中一个肿块累及Ⅲ段,另一个肿块位于Ⅳ段。组织病理学检查结果支持胶原结节混合单纯囊肿和血管瘤的诊断。胶原结节混合单纯肝囊肿的诊断极为罕见,在放射学上可模拟畸胎瘤、肝内胆管结石、寄生虫囊肿或血管瘤。尽管肝血管瘤是肝脏中最常见的良性肿瘤,但本病例显示出非典型的影像学特征。
