Ultrasonography of small hepatic tumors using high-resolution linear-array real-time instruments. 1984

J C Sheu, and J L Sung, and D S Chen, and J Y Yu, and T H Wang, and C T Su, and Y M Tsang

Abdominal ultrasonography using a high-resolution linear-array real-time scanner was compared to computed tomography, celiac arteriography, and radionuclide imaging in 24 patients with a total of 33 hepatocellular carcinomas (HCC), 10 patients with cavernous hemangioma (12 tumors), and 2 patients with metastatic carcinoma of the liver (3 tumors), all smaller than 3 cm. Ultrasound proved to be the most sensitive method of detecting such small tumors. Most small HCCs were hypoechoic and most small hemangiomas hyperechoic. Aspiration cytology and/or biopsy under ultrasound guidance detected 92.3% of HCCs and 100% of hemangiomas. Intraoperative ultrasound was employed in 19 cases of small HCC and aided resection in 8. Real-time ultrasound may play a prominent role in early detection and diagnosis of small HCCs.

D006392 Hemangioma, Cavernous A vascular anomaly that is a collection of tortuous BLOOD VESSELS and connective tissue. This tumor-like mass with the large vascular space is filled with blood and usually appears as a strawberry-like lesion in the subcutaneous areas of the face, extremities, or other regions of the body including the central nervous system.

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.
