Clinical Case Reports
|March 14, 2022
Summary
A rare Bochdalek hernia with liver herniation can appear as a lung mass on imaging. Three-dimensional computed tomography confirmed this rare diagnosis in a patient presenting with lung masses.
Area of Science:
- Medical Imaging
- Radiology
- Pediatric Surgery
Background:
- Bochdalek hernia is a congenital diaphragmatic defect.
- Liver herniation through a Bochdalek hernia is uncommon.
- It can present as a pulmonary mass on chest radiographs.
Purpose of the Study:
- To report a rare case of Bochdalek hernia with liver herniation.
- To highlight its diagnostic challenges and imaging features.
Main Methods:
- Case presentation of a patient with suspected pulmonary masses.
- Utilized thoracoabdominal-enhanced computed tomography (CT).
- Generated three-dimensional (3D) images from CT data.
Main Results:
- Diagnosed Bochdalek hernia with liver herniation.
- The herniated liver mimicked a mass in the right lower lung.
- 3D CT imaging was crucial for diagnosis.
Conclusions:
- Bochdalek hernia with liver herniation is a rare differential diagnosis for pulmonary masses.
- Advanced imaging like 3D CT is essential for accurate diagnosis.

Chronic bowel diseases are a group of long-term conditions affecting the digestive tract, characterized by inflammation and damage to the gut lining. These conditions primarily include irritable bowel syndrome and inflammatory bowel disease.
Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) is a common disorder affecting the gastrointestinal tract. The distinctive feature is recurrent abdominal pain associated with altered bowel movements, manifesting as constipation, diarrhea, or fluctuating between both. The...

Liver and gallbladder diseases are a significant health concern, with prominent conditions including cirrhosis, hepatitis, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), and gallstones. Jaundice is a common manifestation of liver and biliary disease.
Cirrhosis is characterized by the scarring of hepatic lobules in the liver, which are replaced by fibrous tissue, affecting the liver's normal functioning. NAFLD, on the other hand, is caused by an excessive build-up of fat in the liver, not...

01:17Gross Anatomy of the Liver
952
The liver, the largest gland within the human body, is a firm and reddish-brown organ. This wedge-shaped structure weighs approximately 1.5 kg and occupies a significant portion of the right hypochondriac and epigastric regions. It extends more to the right of the body's midline than to the left.
Located under the diaphragm, the liver is almost entirely ensconced within the rib cage, providing it with substantial protection. Except for the superior most bare area, the liver's surface is...
