Benign Liver

Munkahelyünkön 2004–2014 között 273 elektív műtét történt benignus májelváltozás miatt. 83 esetben laparoszkópos (LAP) beavatkozásra került sor: cystafenestratio 52, májresectio 31 esetben történt. A LAP resectiókat hasonló demográfiai és klinikai jellemzőkkel bíró betegek nyitott műtéteivel összehasonlítva megállapítható, hogy a műtéti idő a LAP csoportban (113,7 perc) szignifikánsan hosszabb volt, mint a nyitott műtéteknél (89,5 perc), a kórházi ápolási idő viszont rövidebb (5,8 vs 9,1 nap). Posztoperatív szövődmény a LAP csoportban nem volt, nyitott műtétek után két sebgennyedés, egy UH-vezérelt drainezést igénylő epegyülem fordult elő. A nyitott csoportban 4, a LAP csoportban 3 beteg igényelt transzfúziót. Műtéti halálozás nem volt, reoperációra nem került sor. A közleményben részletezett műtéti technika biztonságos resectiót tesz lehetővé a máj nehezen hozzáférhető, 7–8. szegmentuma területén is. Az eredmények alapján a LAP májresectio megfelelő preoperatív vizsgálatok birtokában választható módszer májdaganatok sebészi kezelésére.

Benign Liver

Abstract Background Cavernous hepatic haemangiomas are benign liver tumours and although common when small, giant haemangiomas (usually accepted as being greater than 10cm) are infrequent. Treatment is indicated in patients who are symptomatic or if diagnosis is unclear, although with giant haemangiomas, many support expectant management of asymptomatic lesions due to the risk of major complications. Traditionally hepatic resection has been the primary treatment option for these lesions, but a variety of other techniques, including enucleation, have been described as safe and effective alternatives. There remains equipoise in respect of the best management of giant haemangiomas above 10cm. Cases of such size are rare and so there is a paucity of data available. Case presentation We present a case of a 65-year-old male who underwent successful anatomical liver resection for a 5kg giant cavernous haemangioma of 26cm diameter following its incidental identification during an ultrasound scan. We also discuss and compare the role of resection and enucleation for the treatment of haemangiomata greater than 20cm in diameter. Conclusions This case demonstrates successful resection of an unusually giant haemangioma which, in contrast to the majority of literature, provides a valuable addition to the limited evidence base for management of this condition by anatomical resection.

Hepatic Malignancies

In recent years, considerable progress has been made in the treatment of children with hepatoblastoma largely due to effective pre-operative chemotherapy. Total hepatectomy and liver transplantation has emerged as an effective treatment for the small proportion of children with unresectable hepatoblastoma limited to the liver. A 5-year survival of 70% can be achieved in such cases. In contrast, the results of liver transplantation in children with hepatocellular cancer remain poor because these tumours are usually advanced with evidence of major vascular invasion and/or extrahepatic spread at the time of presentation. An exception is those children in whom the hepatocellular carcinoma is detected during surveillance of chronic liver disease – they typically have smaller tumours and frequently have a good prognosis after liver transplantation. The role of liver transplantation in children with other primary hepatic malignancies remains uncertain because experience is very limited. Liver transplantation is rarely needed in the management of children with benign liver tumours but, if other treatments have failed, it can be a life-saving intervention.

Benign Liver

Hepatic vascular lesions are not an uncommon finding in children, and represent the most common benign liver tumours to present in infancy. We present a case of a complex vascular malformation with an intrahepatic component suggestive of a venous/arteriovenous malformation as well as a large extrahepatic lesion. The extrahepatic mass was present in both sub- and supra-diaphragmatic locations ,with features of a congenital haemangioma. In view of the clinical presentation and different imaging appearances, this case was felt to be interesting in its radiological workup, management and eventual unusual pathology.
