    Hepatic pseudolesion around the falciform ligament: Prevalence, aberrant venous supply, and fatty infiltration evaluated by multidetector computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging
    (Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 2007) Genchellac, Hakan; Yilmaz, Sabri; Ucar, Adem; Dursun, Memduh; Demir, Mustafa Kemal; Yekeler, Ensar
    Purpose: The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence and aberrant venous supply (inferior veins of Sappey) of hypoattenuating hepatic pseudolesions seen around the falciform ligament on portal-dominant phase multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) and the frequency of fatty infiltration of these pseudolesions on chemical-shift magnetic resonance imaging. Materials and Methods: Portal-dominant phase abdominal MDCT examinations of 728 patients were evaluated for the presence of a pseudolesion around the falciform ligament, and those with a presumed pseudolesion underwent chemical-shift magnetic resonance imaging to detect the fatty infiltration. Reconstructed MDCT images were investigated for the presence of an inferior vein of Sappey, and 30 patients without a pseudolesion were evaluated as a control group. Results: A total of 160 pseudolesions Were detected around the falciform ligament in 146 (20%) patients. The longest diameter of the pseudolesions was in the craniocaudal direction in most patients (61%). An inferior vein of Sappey supplying these pseudolesions was depicted in 40 (27%) patients, and it was highly significant (P = 0.001) compared with the controls for the presence of a pseudolesion around the falciform ligament. Fatty infiltration was found in 47 (29%) patients. Conclusions: Hepatic pseudolesions around the falciform ligament are frequently encountered on portal-dominant phase MDCT images. Detection of craniocaudal extension, inferior veins of Sappey, and fatty infiltration of these pseudolesions, which were firstly described in this article, with the largest subject group based on cross-sectional imaging, might be valuable in excluding true tumors.

    Multimodality imaging in diagnosis and management of alveolar echinococcosis: an update
    (Aves, 2016) Bulakci, Mesut; Kartal, Merve Gulbiz; Yilmaz, Sabri; Yilmaz, Erdem; Yilmaz, Ravza; Sahin, Dilek; Asik, Murat
    Alveolar echinococcosis is a parasitic disease limited to the northern hemisphere. The disease occurs primarily in the liver and shows a profile mimicking slow-growing malignant tumors. Echinococcus multilocularis infection is fatal if left untreated. It can cause several complications by infiltrating the vascular structures, biliary tracts, and the hilum of the liver. As it can invade the adjacent organs or can spread to distant organs, alveolar echinococcosis can easily be confused with malignancies. We provide a brief review of epidemiologic and pathophysiologic profile of alveolar echinococcosis and clinical features of the disease. This article focuses primarily on the imaging features of alveolar echinococcosis on ultrasonogra-phy, computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, diffusion-weighted imaging and positron emission tomography-computed tomography. We also reviewed the role of radiology in diagnosis, management, and follow-up of the disease.
