Acute pancreatitis
Acute pancreatitis or acute pancreatic necrosis is a sudden inflammation of the pancreas. Depending on its severity, it can have severe complications and high mortality despite treatment. While mild cases are often successfully treated with conservative measures, such as NPO (nil by mouth or NBM) and IV fluid rehydration, severe cases may require admission to the ICU or even surgery (often requiring more than one intervention) to deal with complications of the disease process.

Liver hemangioma
Liver hemangioma is a noncancerous (benign) mass that occurs in the liver. A liver hemangioma is made up of a tangle of poorly formed blood vessels. Liver hemangioma is sometimes called hepatic hemangioma or cavernous hemangioma.

Klatskin tumor
A Klatskin tumor, also known as Hilar Cholangiocarcinoma, is a cholangiocarcinoma (cancer of the biliary tree) occurring at the confluence of the right and left hepatic bile ducts.
Bile duct cancer of the upper part of the bile duct is also called Klatskin’s tumor. Klatskin’s tumors involve the upper part of the bile duct as divides to enter the right and the left parts of the liver. The bile ducts in the liver are called right and left hepatic ducts. The tumor may involve one or both right and left sides of the hepatic ducts as they enter the liver. The hepatic ducts are closely associated with the blood vessels that supply blood to the liver. Klatskin’s tumors are closely associated with liver and as they grow invasion into the blood vessels that supply blood to the liver is often found. Read more…

CT scans obtained after patient was lying in right (D and F) and left (E and G) lateral decubitus positions confirm shift and clockwise rotation of liver and portal vein (arrowhead, D), left portal vein (black arrow, E), and gallbladder (arrowhead, F and G). Spleen and retroperitoneal structures have not shifted, including azygos vein (white arrow, E).

Number of View :560Pneumatosis cystoides intestinalis
Pneumatosis is frequently a dire finding, indicating bowel necrosis in the setting of bowel ischemia. However, it can be a benign finding in the setting of COPD, ventilation, automimmune diseases such as SLE, certain medications (i.e. steroids, and immunosuppressives)and after endoscopy. Benign causes of pneumatosis tend to cause cystic air bubbles, while the more concerning underlying processes often cause linear air collections, but the primary differentiation if clinical.

Focal nodular hyperplasia (FNH)
Focal nodular hyperplasia (FNH) is a benign tumour of the liver (hepatic tumour), which is the second most prevalent tumour of the liver (the first is hepatic hemangioma). It is usually asymptomatic, rarely grows or bleeds, and has no malignant potential. This tumour is often resected because it is difficult to distinguish from hepatic adenoma. Read more…
