A HEPATOBILIARY CYSTADENOMA WITH OVARIAN LIKE MESENCHYMAL STROMA; PREOPERATIVE DIAGNOSTIC UNCERTAINTY

Hepatobiliary cystadenoma with mesenchymal stroma are infrequent form of cystic neoplasm that may be found in females only. It is difficult to reach correct diagnosis prior to surgery. We are presenting a case of 32 years-old female referred to our institution for revealing a cause of discomfort and pain in right subcostal region whereas peritoneal hepatobiliary cystadenoma has been determined. Abdominal ultrasonography and computerized tomography revealed cystic lesion adjacent to gall bladder, which was initially thought to be of echynococcal origin. At surgery, a mesenterial cystic neoplasm has been revealed, having a close contact with gall bladder, without signs of its infiltration. Patohystology discovered hepatobiliary cystadenoma with mesenchymal stroma. Pre-surgical differential diagnosis in hepatobiliary cystadenoma may be very difficult, especially if, like in the presented case, neoplasm has extra hepatic localization. Radical surgical excision is treatment of choice, concerning malignant potential of these neoplasms.

Hepatic Lymphangioma

Hepatic lymphangiomas are extremely rare; moreover cystic lymphangiomas usually arise in areas such as the neck and axilla, where loose connective tissue allows the expansion of lymphatic channels. The case of a 65-year old male is described, who presented with a solitary lymphangioma in the liver. The lesion was discovered incidentally and due to diagnostic uncertainty was removed surgically. A short review of histology, clinical presentation and preoperative diagnostic difficulties of hepatic lymphangiomas is given.

Mesenchymal Stroma

Hepatobiliary cystadenoma is a rare benign cystic tumor of the liver. These are predominantly located in right hepatic lobe. A 45 year old female presented with abdominal pain, epigastric discomfort, fever and vomiting. On radiological evaluation USG showed large multiloculated cystic mass in right lobe of liver. Contrast Enhanced CT examination exhibited exophytically growing multiloculated cytic lesion with differential content and peripheral capsular and central enhancement with imaging diagnosis of hydatid cyst was given. The surgical excision of hepatic cyst was done. On histopathology reported as mucinous cystadenoma of liver with mesenchymal stroma. We are presenting this case for its rarity, clinical, radiological and histopathological findings.
