This case report details hepatic endometriosis, a rare condition. Treatment involved hormone therapy and surgery, confirming the diagnosis in a patient with cyclic liver pain.

Area of Science:

  • Reproductive Medicine
  • Hepatology
  • Surgical Pathology

Background:

  • Hepatic endometriosis is an exceptionally rare extrapelvic manifestation of endometriosis.
  • Diagnosis can be challenging due to its rarity and nonspecific symptoms, often mimicking primary liver tumors.

Observation:

  • A 34-year-old woman presented with a two-year history of cyclic right subcostal pain.
  • Imaging studies revealed a 6-cm liver mass.
  • The patient underwent gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist (GnRH-a) therapy followed by surgical resection.

Findings:

  • GnRH-a therapy for four months resulted in significant clinical and radiological improvement.
  • Surgical resection confirmed the diagnosis of hepatic endometriosis.
  • The condition may arise from peritoneal metaplasia or hematogenous/lymphatic spread.

Implications:

  • This case highlights the importance of considering hepatic endometriosis in women with cyclic abdominal pain and liver lesions.
  • Early diagnosis and appropriate management, including hormonal therapy and surgical intervention, are crucial.
  • Further research into the pathogenesis of hepatic endometriosis is warranted to improve diagnostic and therapeutic strategies.
