A Rare Case of Primary Hepatic Leiomyoma

Leiomyomas are most commonly encountered in the genitourinary and gastrointestinalsystems, with primary hepatic leiomyomas (PHL) being a rare occurrence. We presentthe case of a 62-year-old man with an incidentally discovered voluminous lesion in theleft lobe of the liver, initially suspected to be a hemangioma. The patient was referredfor further evaluation, during which advanced imaging modalities were utilized foraccurate diagnosis, and tissue biopsies were obtained. A definitive diagnosis of PHLwas established through immunohistochemistry based on pathological findings.

Abstract

Leiomyomas are most commonly encountered in the genitourinary and gastrointestinalsystems, with primary hepatic leiomyomas (PHL) being a rare occurrence. We presentthe case of a 62-year-old man with an incidentally discovered voluminous lesion in theleft lobe of the liver, initially suspected to be a hemangioma. The patient was referredfor further evaluation, during which advanced imaging modalities were utilized foraccurate diagnosis, and tissue biopsies were obtained. A definitive diagnosis of PHLwas established through immunohistochemistry based on pathological findings.
