ABSTRACT
A 22-year-old woman with a history of surgically treated pelvic teratoma and solid liver lesion in the extension study. Radiological follow-up was decided. This liver lesion experienced a progressive increase in size, reaching 6 cm. Contrast-enhanced liver MRI was performed, revealing a heterogeneous mass in the right hepatic lobe with non-hepatocyte-like behaviour. With this information, the following entities were ruled out haemangioma, adenoma, hepatocarcinoma and focal nodular hyperplasia. Given that it could be a teratoma metastasis, a tumour of any other origin or a non-tumoral lesion with no hepatocyte component, it was decided to perform a 2-[18F]FDG PET/CT scan. It showed the liver mass with notable glycolytic hypermetabolism, suggestive of malignancy. In a multidisciplinary committee, it was decided to perform a laparoscopic right hepatectomy. Pathological examination revealed a benign hepatocytic lesion compatible with a steatotic adenoma.
