Imaging characteristics of hepatic metastases from abdominal leiomyosarcoma: A case report

Hepatic metastases from abdominal leiomyosarcoma are rare but clinically significant. Comprehensive multimodal imaging (ultrasonography, CT, MRI) plays a pivotal role in characterizing these lesions: ultrasound serves as a noninvasive screening tool, while CT and MRI provide detailed anatomical, morphological and vascular information. Histopathological confirmation via ultrasound-guided core needle biopsy is the gold standard for diagnosis. Early detection of hepatic metastases through comprehensive imaging and timely intervention is critical to improving patient outcomes. This case highlights the need for increased awareness of the imaging features of hepatic metastases from abdominal leiomyosarcoma to facilitate early diagnosis and personalized treatment.

Abstract

Hepatic metastases from abdominal leiomyosarcoma are rare but clinically significant. Comprehensive multimodal imaging (ultrasonography, CT, MRI) plays a pivotal role in characterizing these lesions: ultrasound serves as a noninvasive screening tool, while CT and MRI provide detailed anatomical, morphological and vascular information. Histopathological confirmation via ultrasound-guided core needle biopsy is the gold standard for diagnosis. Early detection of hepatic metastases through comprehensive imaging and timely intervention is critical to improving patient outcomes. This case highlights the need for increased awareness of the imaging features of hepatic metastases from abdominal leiomyosarcoma to facilitate early diagnosis and personalized treatment.
