Hepatopulmonary fusion (HPF) is an extremely rare condition characterized by a fusion between the herniated liver and lung right parenchyma. Knowledge about this condition comes from the few cases reported in the literature (less than 40 cases). While diagnostic evaluation as X-Ray, Computed Tomography (CT), Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), and Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography (SPECT) were described, poor ultrasound findings are available. In this paper, the authors provide the detailed chest ultrasound findings of this rare condition.
肝肺融合（HPF）是一种极为罕见的病症，其特征是肝脏疝出部分与右肺实质融合。关于这种病症的知识来源于文献中报道的少数病例（不到 40 例）。虽然已经描述了 X 射线、计算机断层扫描（CT）、磁共振成像（MRI）和单光子发射计算机断层扫描（SPECT）等诊断评估方法，但超声检查的结果较差。本文作者提供了这种罕见病症的详细胸部超声检查结果。
