Primary malignant mesothelioma is a rarity among malignant liver tumors. We present the case of a 48-year-old woman presenting with increasing upper abdominal discomfort and inappetence accompanied by a weight loss of approximately 10 kg. CT and MRI revealed a highly suspicious mass lesion in the liver. 18F-FDG PET/CT performed for staging showed a pathological 18F-FDG uptake of the known liver tumor. Histology and immunohistochemistry indicated mesothelioma of the liver. Herein we present a rare case of primary mesothelioma in the liver with CT, MRI, and 18F-FDG PET/CT.
原发性肝恶性间皮瘤在肝脏恶性肿瘤中较为罕见。我们报告了 1 例 48 岁女性病例,她因上腹部不适和食欲不振加重伴体重减轻约 10kg 就诊。CT 和 MRI 显示肝脏有高度可疑的占位性病变。为分期进行的 18F-FDG PET/CT 检查显示已知肝脏肿瘤存在病理性 18F-FDG 摄取。组织学和免疫组织化学检查提示肝脏间皮瘤。本文报告了 1 例罕见的肝脏原发性间皮瘤的 CT、MRI 和 18F-FDG PET/CT 表现。
