Summary

A rare endocrine tumor mimicked polycystic liver disease in a 36-year-old man presenting with abdominal pain. Invasive diagnosis confirmed trabecular-tubular carcinoma (APUDoma), highlighting the need for definitive testing in complex liver cases.

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology and Hepatology
  • Endocrinology
  • Oncology

Background:

  • Cystic liver diseases can present with abdominal pain and hepatomegaly.
  • Accurate diagnosis is crucial for appropriate management of liver pathologies.

Observation:

  • A 36-year-old man presented with right upper abdominal pain and hepatomegaly.
  • Initial imaging suggested cystic liver disease, but symptoms persisted.
  • Liver biopsy revealed trabecular-tubular carcinoma (APUDoma).

Findings:

  • Tumor cells showed positive silver staining and endocrine cell morphology on electron microscopy.
  • High serum levels of pancreatic polypeptide and beta-human chorionic gonadotropin (beta-HCG) were detected.
  • Standard hormone immunohistochemistry and neuron-specific enolase were negative.

Implications:

  • This case underscores that endocrine tumors can mimic nonparasitic cystic liver disease.
  • Invasive diagnostic methods are essential for definitive diagnosis of complex liver conditions.
  • Early and accurate diagnosis of liver tumors is critical for patient outcomes.
