Year: 2025
Type: article
Study design: Case Report
Abstract: In our report, we present a case of a 45-year-old female patient with MHL. Before surgery, a differentiated diagnosis included cholangiocarcinoma and focal nodular hyperplasia. Attempts of morphological verification, including ultrasound-guided biopsies, were uninformative. The final diagnosis was established after laparoscopic anatomical liver resection with histological and immunohistochemical examination. This case highlights the importance of a comprehensive approach to the diagnosis of liver tumors in adults and the need to include MHL in the differential diagnosis in the case of atypical clinical and radiological presentation.
