We herein present a case involving a 41-year-old woman in whom ultrasound examination revealed multiple liver hemangiomas more than 3 years ago.Follow-up ultrasound examination revealed that the masses had significantly increased;the largest was located in the right lobe(about 8.2 cm×7.4 cm×6.0cm).Abdominal multidetector computed tomographyrevealed multiple well-circumscribed,heterogeneous,hypodense masses(largest,6.4 cm×6.3 cm×5.0cm)with significant contrast enhancement during the arterial and portal phases and with contrast washout and peripheral enhancement during the delayed phases.Magnetic resonance images demonstrated multiple well-circumscribed,heterogeneous,hypointense hepatic masses with significant contrast enhancement(largest,6.4 cm×6.5 cm×5.1 cm);multiple enlarged porta lymph nodes;and multiple s l i g h t l y e n l a rg e d re t ro p e r i t o n e a l l y m p h n o d e s.Histological and immunohistochemical examination of the right mass biopsy specimen suggested a malignant neoplasm that had originated from a neuroendocrine cell type(grade 2 well-differentiated neuroendocrine carcinoma).After performing a systemic examination to exclude metastasis from an extrahepatic primary site,we considered that the masses had arisen from a primary hepatic neuroendocrine tumor with multiple liver metastases.The patient underwent transcatheter arterial chemoembolization using a combination of oxaliplatin(150 mg)mixed with one bottle of gelatin sponge particles(560-710μm)and lipiodol(6 m L).Primary neuroendocrine tumors of the liver are extremely rare.This case is interesting because of the rarity of this neoplasm and previous misdiagnosis as multiple liver hemangiomas.Previously reported cases in the literature are also reviewed. We herein present a case involving a 41-year-old woman in whom ultrasound examination revealed multiple liver hemangiomas more than 3 years ago. Follow-up ultrasound examination revealed that the masses had significantly increased; the largest was located in the right lobe (about 8.2 cm × 7.4 cm × 6.0 cm). Abdominal multidetector computed tomographyrevealed multiple multiple-circumscribed, heterogeneous, hypodense masses (largest, 6.4 cm × 6.3 cm × 5.0 cm) with significant contrast enhancement during the arterial and portal phases and with contrast washout and peripheral enhancement during the delayed phases. Magnetic resonance images showed multiple well-circumscribed, heterogeneous, hypointense hepatic masses with significant contrast enhancement (largest, 6.4 cm × 6.5 cm × 5.1 cm); multiple enlarged porta lymph nodes; and multiple slightlyenlag ed t ro peritoneallymphnode s. Histological and immunohistochemical examination of the right mass biopsy specimen suggested a ma lignant neoplasm that had originated from a neuroendocrine cell type (grade 2 well-differentiated neuroendocrine carcinoma). After performing a systemic examination to exclude metastasis from an extrahepatic primary site, we considered that the masses had arisen from a primary hepatic neuroendocrine tumor with multiple liver metastases. The patient underwent transcatheter arterial chemoembolization using a combination of oxaliplatin (150 mg) mixed with one bottle of gelatin sponge particles (560-710 μm) and lipiodol (6 mL). Primary neuroendocrine tumors of the liver are extremely rare.This case is interesting because of the rarity of this neoplasm and previous misdiagnosis as multiple liver hemangiomas .Previously reported cases in the literature are also reviewed.
