خلاصه مقاله:
Uterine leiomyoma with hepatic vasculopathy, specifically non-cirrhotic portal fibrosis (NCPF), has hitherto been undescribed. NCPF is characterized by elevated portal pressure sans cirrhosis and has previously not been described in association with a gynecological pathology. We report the case of a female under evaluation for a heterogeneously enhancing intrauterine mass with multiple hepatic lesions with increased uptake of fluorodeoxyglucose on positron emission analysis. Fibroscan values were increased. Histopathologic evaluations revealed a leiomyoma with liver tissue showing tubercular granulomas, thin wispy fibrotic strands, and rounded portal tracts pointed to NCPF. No evidence of malignancy was seen. Metabolic imaging may be unreliable to distinguish between benign and malignant uterine pathology and granulomatous and malignant hepatic lesions. Elastography may also be ineffective in diagnosing the etiology of liver fibrosis. Histopathological analysis hence remains essential despite noninvasive tests. Further research is required on females afflicted with NCPF to exclude a hormonal link.
