Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) with the concurrent occurrence of primary hepatic neuroendocrine carcinoma (NEC) of the liver is extremely rare. Preoperative diagnosis of HCC combined with NEC is very difficult. Here, we presented a case report of HCC combined with NEC. A 33-year-old male was admitted to our hospital due to focal liver lesion. To further the diagnosis, he received laboratory tests, conventional ultrasound, contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS), and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Grayscale ultrasound showed a hypoechoic nodule with peripheral hypoechoic halo and central small patches of anechoic area in the hepatic segment VI, and the liver background was cirrhosis. In the CEUS, the solid component of the nodule was rapidly homogeneous hyper-enhancement in the arterial phase. Then, the enhancement of the nodule was washed out slowly and gradually; the nodule presented heterogeneously mild enhancement in the portal phase, and slight hypo-enhancement was showed in the late phase. The hypo-enhanced area was mainly located in the surrounding space. Meanwhile, there was a small piece of non-enhanced area within the lesion center in the whole three-phase imaging. MRI showed a lobular contoured mass in segment VI. The patient underwent middle liver resection, splenectomy, and cholecystectomy. The pathological diagnosis was a HCC with NEC. At the time of the preparation of this manuscript, the patient has been alive without recurrence or distant metastases for 6 months since the surgery. We mainly focus on the ultrasound imaging characteristics, especially its enhancement manifestations on CEUS. In this report, since this article is a case report, which is based on the clinical information of the patient and does not involve the patient's privacy, informed consent is not necessary. In addition, the patient agreed to publish the case. To the best of our knowledge, this report is the first to describe the CEUS patterns of the HCC combined with NEC. Herein, we report a case that provides novel insights that will improve clinicians' awareness of the clinical and ultrasound manifestations of this mixed tumor, resulting in improved diagnosis, treatment, and outcomes.

The use of ketamine as a drug of abuse has increased and so too has the risk of accidental overdose. Here, the authors report the case of a 10-month-old infant who inadvertently ingested ketamine. The child demonstrated severe cerebellar swelling that required emergency surgical intervention. The authors describe the clinical course of this child and present the radiographic characteristics of the brain. The imaging characteristics were not consistent with purely anoxic injury, thus suggesting a specific effect of this drug. To the authors’ knowledge, similar imaging characteristics in this context have not been described.

This case report describes the chemoembolization of a small hepatocellular carcinoma employing a lipiodol drug delivery system utilizing a novel arterial pathway. Because the target lesion was precariously located adjacent to the inferior heart border and the diaphragm, it was unsuitable for imaging-guided microwave ablation. To achieve chemoembolization, several intraprocedural adaptations were necessary, given the variant anatomy encountered and difficulty accessing the left gastric artery through a celiac artery approach. The left gastric artery was selected from a superior mesenteric artery approach through the pancreaticoduodenal arcade (Rio Branco’s arcade). This case illustrates the importance of a mastery of the vascular anatomy and variants of hepatic arterial flow.

IIntroduction: Pancreatic Neuroendocrine Tumours (p-NETs) are an important disease entity and comprise of peptide-secreting tumours often with a functional syndrome. : Accounting for a small percentage of all pancreatic tumours, they have a good overall survival rate when diagnosed early, with surgery being curative. The role of nuclear medicine in the diagnosis and treatment of these tumours is evident. However, the vast majority of patients will require extensive imaging in the form of conventional radiological techniques. It is important for clinicians to have a fundamental understanding of the p-NET appearances to aid prompt identification and to help direct management through neoplastic staging. Methods: This article will review the advantages and disadvantages of conventional radiological techniques in the context of p-NETs and highlight features that these tumours exhibit. Conclusion: Pancreatic neuroendocrine tumours are a unique collection of neoplasms that have markedly disparate clinical features but similar imaging characteristics. Most p-NETs are small and welldefined with homogenous enhancement following contrast administration, although larger and less welldifferentiated tumours can demonstrate areas of necrosis and cystic architecture with heterogeneous enhancement characteristics. : Prognosis is generally favourable for these tumours with various treatment options available. However, conventional radiological techniques will remain the foundation for the initial diagnosis and staging of these tumours, and a grasp of these modalities is extremely important for physicians.
