Ultrasonography Characteristics of Hepatic Neuroendocrine Neoplasm

#1727

Introduction: The incidence of hepatic neuroendocrine neoplasm (HNEN) is significantly increased in recent years.Lack of recognization usually lead to misdiagnosis.

Aim(s): To analyze the features of HNEN with ultrasound.

Materials and methods: 50 patients with 54 lesions pathological or eikonic proven HNEN underwent baseline ultrasound(BUS) and contrast-enhanced ultrasound(CEUS).Ultrasonography features of HNEN,distinctions between primary lesions (PHNEN) and metastatic lesions (MHNEN),discrepancies among different pathological grades and primary focus were investigated.
