Abstract

Extrauterine adenomyoma of the liver is extremely rare. Only a few cases have been reported, and these reports have focused mainly on histopathology. Herein, we report the specific imaging findings of extrauterine adenomyoma of the liver in a 43-year-old woman with epigastric pain, which was initially diagnosed as a hepatic adenoma. CT and MRI revealed a solid and cystic mass with hemorrhagic foci and weak persistent enhancement, located in the subcapsular region of the right hepatic lobe.

간에 발생하는 자궁외 선근종은 매우 드문 종양이다. 이제껏 몇 가지의 사례만이 문헌에 보고되었고, 이것들은 조직병리학 소견에 초점을 둔 보고들이었다. 우리는 처음에 간선종으로 오인되었던, 상복부 통증을 주소로 내원한 43세 여성에서의 간에 발생한 자궁외 선근종의 특징적인 영상 소견을 보고하고자 한다. 이것은 전산화단층촬영과 자기공명영상에서 국소적 출혈을 동반한 고형 및 낭성 종괴로 보이며 간우엽 피막하에 위치하였고, 지속적인 약한 조영 증강을 보였다.
