Radiologic Findings of Hepatic Myeloma Infiltration: A Case Report

Multipl myeloma, hastalığın ileri dönemlerinde karaciğerde malign plazma hücre infiltrasyonunun görülebildiği lenfoproliferatif bir hastalıktır. Burada multipl myelom hastasında ultrasonografi eşliğinde yapılan karaciğer biyopsisi ile tanısı konulan hepatik myeloma infiltrasyonu olgusu sunuldu. Hepatik infiltrasyona tanı konulması evreleme ve tedavi planını etkilediği için önemlidir. Görüntüleme özellikleri ve görüntüleme eşliğinde biyopsi hastalığın prognozu nedeniyle tanıda önemli yer tutar.

Hepatik Myeloma İnfiltrasyonunda Radyolojik Bulgular: Olgu Sunumu

Multiple myeloma is a lymphoproliferative disorder, in which hepatic infiltration of malignant plasma cells may also be seen in later stages of the disease. Herein, we report a case of hepatic myeloma infiltration that was diagnosed by an ultrasonography guided liver biopsy in a multiple myeloma patient. The diagnosis of the hepatic infiltration is important, since it has an impact on the staging and the therapy. Imaging appearances and imaging guided biopsies have an important place in the diagnosis, and therefore in the prognosis of the disease.
