Case 23-2005: A 57-year-old man with a mass in the liver

Article Abstract:

A 57-year-old man was admitted to the hospital because of a mass, that was 4 cm in diameter, in the dome of the right lobe of the liver, which was identified with the help of computed tomographic (CT) scanning and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the abdominal area. Liver transplantation was considered as the primary treatment because it has the benefits of simultaneous removal of the primary cancer and replacement of the underlying cirrhotic liver, from which subsequent cancers may rise.
