Description
Yang leads a team reporting a rare liver tumor case and its imaging fingerprints in a 2023 paper. Perivascular epithelioid cell tumors are uncommon and often mistaken for liver cancer. The patient was a man in his early sixties whose lesion turned up by chance.
Scans showed solid tissue mixed with fat inside the tumor. The solid part took up a tracer strongly on PET imaging. Magnetic resonance signals confirmed the fatty component. Contrast scans showed a fast-in, fast-out pattern typical of richer blood flow. The authors argue these combined features can separate this tumor from true liver cancer. Careful multimodal imaging is their message. Misdiagnosis can lead to wrong treatment.
