Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Oncology
  • Hepatobiliary Surgery
  • Diagnostic Imaging

Background:

  • Hepatic mesenchymoma is a rare liver tumor.
  • Hepatic echinococcosis is a parasitic infection causing liver cysts.
  • Accurate diagnosis is crucial for appropriate treatment.

Observation:

  • An 8-year-old girl presented with abdominal pain, initially diagnosed with hepatic echinococcosis via ultrasound.
  • CT scan confirmed liver hydatid disease, leading to antiparasitic therapy with albendazole.
  • The patient's condition and ultrasound findings worsened after one month of treatment.

Findings:

  • Laparotomy revealed a large cystic mass in the right hepatic lobe.
  • Pathological examination excluded echinococcosis and confirmed a malignant hepatic mesenchymoma.

  • This case highlights a diagnostic challenge in differentiating liver tumors from parasitic cysts.

    • Implications:

    • Malignant hepatic mesenchymoma can mimic benign conditions like echinococcosis.
    • Early and accurate diagnosis is vital for effective pediatric liver cancer treatment.
    • This case underscores the importance of comprehensive histopathological evaluation for liver masses.
