A liver mass in a 60-year-old man with chronic hepatitis was diagnosed using advanced imaging and biopsy. The mass was identified as an intrahepatic accessory spleen, a rare finding.

Area of Science:

  • Hepatology
  • Radiology
  • Pathology

Background:

  • A 60-year-old male patient with a history of chronic hepatitis presented with an unidentified hepatic mass.
  • Diagnostic challenges in differentiating liver lesions necessitate comprehensive imaging and biopsy techniques.

Observation:

  • The patient underwent extensive diagnostic evaluations including ultrasonography (US), computed tomography (CT), and magnetic resonance (MR) imaging, with and without contrast agents.
  • An ultrasound-assisted percutaneous liver lesion biopsy was performed for definitive diagnosis.

Findings:

  • Imaging revealed a distinct intrahepatic mass.
  • Histopathological analysis confirmed the lesion to be an intrahepatic accessory spleen.

Implications:

  • This case highlights the importance of considering rare anatomical variations, such as accessory spleens, in the differential diagnosis of hepatic masses.
  • Accurate diagnosis is crucial for appropriate patient management and avoiding unnecessary interventions.
