Abstract
A 15-year-old female adolescent was previously in good health. Ultrasound examination revealed an 84 × 45 mm heterogeneous echo mass in the left inner lobe of the liver, exhibiting clear boundaries and a regular shape. Additionally, multiple small cysts were observed within the heterogeneous echo mass, and occasionally, a strong spot-like echo with a comet tail sign was noted. Imaging results indicated that the left inner lobe of the liver exhibited a lamellar structure with an anomalous signal shadow, suggesting a high probability of bile duct hamartoma.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Clinical Ultrasound (JCU) is an international journal dedicated to the worldwide dissemination of scientific information on diagnostic and therapeutic applications of medical sonography.
The scope of the journal includes--but is not limited to--the following areas: sonography of the gastrointestinal tract, genitourinary tract, vascular system, nervous system, head and neck, chest, breast, musculoskeletal system, and other superficial structures; Doppler applications; obstetric and pediatric applications; and interventional sonography. Studies comparing sonography with other imaging modalities are encouraged, as are studies evaluating the economic impact of sonography. Also within the journal''s scope are innovations and improvements in instrumentation and examination techniques and the use of contrast agents.
JCU publishes original research articles, case reports, pictorial essays, technical notes, and letters to the editor. The journal is also dedicated to being an educational resource for its readers, through the publication of review articles and various scientific contributions from members of the editorial board and other world-renowned experts in sonography.
