Research reports from S. Caruso and co-authors provide new insights into hemangiopericytoma
2009 JUL 6 - (NewsRx.com) -- According to recent research published in the Journal of Clinical Ultrasound, "Hemangiopericytoma (HP) is an uncommon vascular tumor that rarely develops in the liver. We present the case of a 68-year-old female with a primary HP involving the right lobe of the liver, detected during an abdominal screening sonography." "The lesion was further evaluated using multidetector CT. The patient was treated with a right hepatectomy, and a pathologic diagnosis was made," wrote S. Caruso and colleagues. The researchers concluded: "Two years later, there was no evidence of recurrence." Caruso and colleagues published their study in the Journal of Clinical Ultrasound (Primary Hemangiopericytoma of the Liver: Sonographic Findings. Journal of Clinical Ultrasound, 2009;37(5):305-307).
