Contrast‐Enhanced Ultrasound Successfully Diagnoses a Rare Case of Coexisting Colorectal Cancer Liver Metastasis and Hepatocellular Carcinoma: A Case Report

Colorectal cancer liver metastasis (CRLM) with concomitant hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in a single patient has not been previously reported. We present a case of a 57-year-old Asian male with a rectal mass and synchronous, radiologically distinct multiple liver lesions. Contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) characterized the liver lesions as suggestive of both CRLM and concomitant HCC, which was later histologically confirmed by ultrasound-guided biopsy. This case underscores the significant diagnostic value of CEUS in differentiating complex multifocal liver lesions and the critical role of targeted biopsy for definitive diagnosis.

Abstract

Colorectal cancer liver metastasis (CRLM) with concomitant hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in a single patient has not been previously reported. We present a case of a 57-year-old Asian male with a rectal mass and synchronous, radiologically distinct multiple liver lesions. Contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) characterized the liver lesions as suggestive of both CRLM and concomitant HCC, which was later histologically confirmed by ultrasound-guided biopsy. This case underscores the significant diagnostic value of CEUS in differentiating complex multifocal liver lesions and the critical role of targeted biopsy for definitive diagnosis.
