The main objective of preoperative imaging studies is to define as accurately as possible the number, size, location, and relationship of tumor masses in the liver to pertinent portal and hepatic venous vasculature. Computerized tomographic portography images hepatic veins and segmental portal vein branches and identifies the anatomical location of tumor nodules with excellent sensitivity and a low false-positive rate. The intraoperative correlation of computerized tomographic portography on 30 patients in the last 20 months at this institution shows a sensitivity of 88 per cent with a low rate of false-positivity. The ability to detect metastatic lesions in the liver by computerized tomographic portography diminishes when the lesions are noted to be less than 1 cm. The authors conclude that the preoperative interpretation of the computerized tomographic portogram provides valuable information not previously available to the surgeon operating on the liver.

D011300 Preoperative Care Care given during the period prior to undergoing surgery when psychological and physical preparations are made according to the special needs of the individual patient. This period spans the time between admission to the hospital to the time the surgery begins.

D002276 Carcinoid Tumor A usually small, slow-growing neoplasm composed of islands of rounded, oxyphilic, or spindle-shaped cells of medium size, with moderately small vesicular nuclei, and covered by intact mucosa with a yellow cut surface. The tumor can occur anywhere in the gastrointestinal tract (and in the lungs and other sites); approximately 90% arise in the appendix. It is now established that these tumors are of neuroendocrine origin and derive from a primitive stem cell.

D006528 Carcinoma, Hepatocellular A primary malignant neoplasm of epithelial liver cells. It ranges from a well-differentiated tumor with EPITHELIAL CELLS indistinguishable from normal HEPATOCYTES to a poorly differentiated neoplasm. The cells may be uniform or markedly pleomorphic, or form GIANT CELLS. Several classification schemes have been suggested.
