ROLE OF INTEGRATED INSTRUMENTAL STUDY IN DIAGNOSTICS OF LIVER PELIOSIS
Abstract
Background. Liver peliosis is a rare benign and tumor-like lesion of the liver.
Objective – to present a clinical case of liver pelitis and the possibility of complex instrumental diagnosis of focal liver damage.
Materials and methods. A clinical case of diagnosis of liver pelitis with ultrasound (ultrasound), computed tomography, biopsy and diagnostic laparoscopy is presented.
Results. Qualified ultrasound research using auxiliary diagnostic methods (ultrasound dopplerography, elastography) enabled to interpret data of the study correctly and to assume liver peliosis in the patient. Conclusion. Complex instrumental study in the diagnosis of focal liver lesions with the use of ultrasound, computed tomography, biopsy and diagnostic laparoscopy is a reliable, affordable and low-cost method for diagnosing liver pelitis.
