  • Title: [Discovery of benign hepatic lesions during investigation for hepatic metastases].
    Author: Martelli H, Tubiana JM, Huguet C.
    Journal: Nouv Presse Med; 1982 Oct 02; 11(38):2833-6. PubMed ID: 7177817.
    Abstract:
    Benign lesions may be unexpectedly discovered when investigating for liver metastases. This is illustrated here by 6 cases of alleged liver metastasis in patients previously operated upon for cancer and referred for hepatectomy. The diagnosis was corrected by additional examinations or on surgery. A model of diagnostic and therapeutic approach is suggested. As a rule, a cystic lesion seen on ultrasonography does not require supplementary arteriography and needle biopsy -- are necessary in cases of dense, heterogeneous lesions.
