Comparative Clinical Analysis of Gastroenteropancreatic Neuroendocrine Carcinomas with Liver Metastasis and Primary Hepatic Neuroendocrine Carcinomas

Figure 2

Image examination of gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine carcinomas with liver metastasis. (a, b) Contrast-enhanced CT showed the uneven mass of the soft tissue in the pancreas tail with the size of about 8 × 7 cm. The mass was scattered in the point of patchy high-density calcification, and the mass and pancreatic body part of the boundary are unclear. The liver showed multiple sizes of nodules with abnormal enhancement. (c, d) MRI showed multiple round nodules around the head of the pancreas and retroperitoneum, which were similar to the signal and enhancement pattern in the liver, and the pancreatic head was compressed. The liver showed multiple round long T1 signals, a slightly longer T2 signal shadow, and a smooth edge. The larger nodule is located in the right lobe of the liver with a size of about 7.7 × 11.8 × 10.6 cm.
