51-year-old man with a history of metastatic melanoma Axial precontrast 3D SPGR images (Figure 17.25.1) reveal multiple T1 hyperintense lesions throughout the liver, representing melanoma metastases. Note also geographic decreased signal intensity in the left hepatic lobe, likely representing fibrotic changes from previous radiotherapy. Many of the lesions are more difficult to visualize on equilibrium phase images obtained 20 minutes after gadoxetate disodium (Eovist) administration (...

36-year-old woman with early satiety and abdominal discomfort Axial fat-suppressed FSE T2-weighted image (Figure 1.8.1) demonstrates a large mass in the left hepatic lobe with high signal intensity, greatest in the center of the lesion. Axial arterial, portal venous, and equilibrium phase postgadolinium 3D SPGR images (...

62-year-old man with cirrhosis Coronal SSFSE (Figure 2.33.1) and axial fat-suppressed FSE T2-weighted (Figure 2.33.2) images demonstrate a cirrhotic liver with heterogeneous signal intensity, splenomegaly, and ascites. Ill-defined increased signal intensity in the left hepatic lobe involves nearly all of the liver inferiorly. Note also soft tissue expansion of the main portal vein, depicted in the coronal SSFSE image. Arterial, portal venous, and equilibrium phase postgadolinium 3D SPGR images (...

29-year-old man with history of liver transplantation for advanced PSC performed 5 weeks ago, now with increasing elevation of hepatic enzymes Axial fat-suppressed FSE T2-weighted image (Figure 2.20.1) demonstrates a subtle area of mildly increased signal intensity in the periphery of the right hepatic lobe. Biliary ducts were unremarkable on MRCP (images not shown). Pregadolinium, portal venous, and equilibrium phase postgadolinium 3D SPGR images (...

75-year-old woman with a history of deep venous thrombosis and pulmonary emboli Coronal SSFSE (Figure 1.27.1) and axial fat-suppressed FSE T2-weighted (Figure 1.27.2) images reveal a large exophytic mass projecting inferiorly from the right hepatic lobe, with a few scattered foci of mildly increased signal intensity. Axial diffusion-weighted image (b=400 s/mm...

57-year-old man with a history of alcoholic cirrhosis Axial fat-suppressed FSE T2-weighted (Figure 1.24.1) and diffusion-weighted (b=100 s/mm2) (Figure 1.24.2) images demonstrate a peripheral right hepatic lobe mass that has mildly increased signal intensity relative to adjacent liver. Notice the higher signal intensity and greater contrast on the diffusion-weighted image (b=100 s/mm...

A case of metastatic melanoma of the antrum and duodenal bulb is reported with rare endoscopic findings. A 59-year-old male patient was presented with nausea, vomiting, and abdominal pain one year after excision of malignant melanoma from the back. The tumor was classified as Clark IV, Breslow III. Upper gastrointestinal endoscopy revealed one melanotic polypoid mass with ulcerations at the tip in the antrum and two in the duodenal bulb. Endoscopic biopsy of these polypoid masses showed malignant melanoma metastases. Patients with gastrointestinal symptoms and a history of melanoma should be investigated for the presence of gastrointestinal metastases even if the original primary malignancy was diagnosed years prior to the patient presentation.

55-year-old woman with chronic liver disease Axial fat-suppressed FSE T2-weighted images (Figure 2.23.1) demonstrate a cirrhotic liver with diffuse, innumerable, small low-signal-intensity nodules. Axial arterial, portal venous, and hepatobiliary phase postgadolinium (Eovist) 3D SPGR images (Figure 2.23.2) demonstrate heterogeneous enhancement of the background parenchyma, particularly in the right hepatic lobe. The multiple nodules are initially hypointense on arterial and portal venous phase images but become hyperintense relative to adjacent liver on the hepatobiliary phase image....

72-year-old man with probable alcoholic cirrhosis Axial fat-suppressed FSE T2-weighted image (Figure 1.29.1) demonstrates a well-circumscribed mass in the medial left hepatic lobe, as well as some subtle, ill-defined, mildly increased signal intensity in the posterior right lobe. Axial IP and OP T1-weighted 2D SPGR images (...

4-year-old boy with abdominal pain initially diagnosed as constipation. The pain worsened, and a CT demonstrated a hepatic mass Coronal SSFSE (Figure 1.23.1) and axial fat-suppressed FSE T2-weighted (Figure 1.23.2) images reveal a large heterogeneous mass in the right hepatic lobe, with markedly increased signal intensity. Axial precontrast and arterial, portal venous, and equilibrium phase postgadolinium 3D SPGR images (...

66-year-old woman with nausea, vomiting, and abdominal pain after a recent fundoplication. Abdominal CT revealed a right hepatic lobe mass Coronal SSFSE (Figure 1.2.1) and axial fat-suppressed FSE T2-weighted (Figure 1.2.2) images demonstrate a lobulated mass with high signal intensity in the right hepatic lobe. Axial arterial phase, portal venous phase, and coronal oblique reformatted equilibrium phase postgadolinium 3D SPGR images (...
