Incidental Vascular Lesion in Explanted Liver: A Rare Case Report and Review of the Literature

Rossana Kazemimood et al. Case Reports Hepatol. .

Abstract

Hepatic small vessel neoplasm (HSVN) is a rare vascular hepatic lesion that is usually an asymptomatic incidental finding. Here we present a case of a 66-year-old male with HSVN who was discovered to have a lesion presenting as a small nodule in an explanted liver. HSVN is a recently described hepatic vascular lesion that has been previously underdiagnosed. It has an uncertain long-term malignant potential, so close follow-up is recommended.
