ADENOMA FORMATION

Boy, 7 years old. No complaints. A large mass was inadvertently discovered in the right hepatic lobe during US examination. When performing elastography with the ARFI-VTQ method: homogeneous hypoechoic structure without increased vascularization, with somewhat uneven, clear contours, the average speed of the shear waves in the liver parenchyma is - 1.09 m/s, IQR – 0.09; average speed of shear waves in the lesion is – 1.10 m/s.
 According to the results from the US examination with shear-wave elastography with ARFI-VTQ, the degree of liver fibrosis using the METAVIR scale is F0. Liver mass of the right hepatic lobe (judging by elastography the mass is adenomatous).

Examination was conducted using SIEMENS S2000 Ultrasound Scanner with 4С1 Сonvex Probe
