Major hepatectomy in patients with insufficient future liver remnant (FLR) volume and impaired liver functional reserve has considerable risks for posthepatectomy liver failure (PHLF). The patient was a male in his 70 with an intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC) in left hemiliver, involving the middle hepatic vein (MHV). Although FLR volume after left hemihepatectomy was estimated to be 64.4% of the total liver volume, an indocyanine green retention rate at 15 min (ICG-R15) value was 24.2%, thus the patient underwent left portal vein embolization (PVE). The FLR volume increased to 71.3%, however, the non-congestive FLR volume was re-estimated as 45.8% after resection of the MHV, the ICG-R15 value was 29.0%, and ICG-Krem was calculated as 0.037. We performed partial rescue ALPPS (Associating Liver Partition and Portal vein occlusion for Staged hepatectomy) for left hemihepatectomy with the MHV reconstruction. On the first stage, partial liver partition was done along Rex-Cantlie’s line, preserving the MHV and sacrificing the remaining branches to segment 8. The FLR volume increased to 77.4% on day 14. The ICG-R15 value was 29.6%, but ICG-Krem after MHV reconstruction was estimated to be 0.059. The second stage operation on day 21 was left hemihepatectomy with the MHV reconstruction using the left superficial femoral vein graft. The usage of rescue partial ALPPS may contribute to preventing PHLF by introducing occlusion of the portal and/or venous branches in the left hemiliver before curative hepatectomy.

Objective. The minimal amount of liver mass necessary for regeneration is still a matter of debate. The aim of the study was to analyze liver regeneration factors after extended resection with or without portosystemic shunt. Methods. An extended left hemihepatectomy was performed in 25 domestic pigs, in 15 cases after a portosystemic H-shunt. The expression of Ki-67, VEGF, TGF-, FGF, and CK-7 was analyzed in paraffin-embedded tissue sections. Results. The volume of the remnant liver increased about 2.5-fold at the end of the first week after resection. With 19 cells/10 Glisson fields versus 4/10, Ki-67-expression was significantly higher in the H-shunt group. VEGF- and CK-7-expressions were significantly higher in the control group. No significant change was found in FGF-expression. The expression of TGF- was higher, but not significantly, in the control group. Conclusions. The expression of Ki-67, and therefore hepatocyte regeneration, was increased in the shunt group. The expression of CK-7 on biliary epithelium and the expression of VEGF, however, were stronger in the control group.

Abstract A 54-year-old woman presented with an incidentally identified asymptomatic liver lesion with imaging characteristics suspicious for malignancy. She underwent a left hemihepatectomy for presumed cholangiocarcinoma. Histopathology revealed granulomas with microbiological investigations later revealing a diagnosis of isolated hepatic tuberculosis. There were no pulmonary or other disease sites identified. The patient has been medically managed for primary hepatic tuberculosis and remains well postoperatively. This case identifies a rare differential for a liver mass that needs to be considered in the clinicians’ workup.
