Abstract
Objective To explore the ultrasonic presentations of primary hepatic carcinoid tunors.Methods The ultrasonic data of 9cases of hepatic carcinoid tumors,who were pathologically confirmed from September 2002to November 2008in our hospital,were retrospectively analyzed.Results Ultrasonic examination showed that the diameters of the 9tumors were all5cm.The tumors had an irregular morphology and presented with strong or high echo with inhomogeneous echo inside.The tumors had no noticeable capsule and had clear borders and rich blood supply.Wide bleeding and necrosis of tumor could cause the cystic mass.There were no primary nidus or tumor emboli of portal veins.Conclusion Ultrasonic diagnosis of liver carcinoid tumors still lacks specific presentations,and efforts should be made to persistently summarize the experience to improve the diagnosis.
