Résumé

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC) differ in treatment and prognosis, warranting an effective differential diagnosis between them. The LR-M category in the contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) liver imaging reporting and data system (LI-RADS) was set up for lesions that are malignant but not specific to HCC.

BACKGROUND BACKGROUND
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC) differ in treatment and prognosis, warranting an effective differential diagnosis between them. The LR-M category in the contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) liver imaging reporting and data system (LI-RADS) was set up for lesions that are malignant but not specific to HCC. However, a substantial number of HCC cases in this category elevated the diagnostic challenge.
AIM OBJECTIVE
To investigate the possibility and efficacy of differentiating ICC from HCC classified in the LR-M category according to the CEUS LI-RADS.
METHODS METHODS
Patients with complete CEUS records together with pathologically confirmed ICC and LR-M HCC (HCC classified in the CEUS LI-RADS LR-M category) between January 2015 and October 2018 were included in this retrospective study. Each ICC was assigned a category as per the CEUS LI-RADS. The enhancement pattern, washout timing, and washout degree between the ICC and LR-M HCC were compared using the
RESULTS RESULTS
A total of 228 nodules (99 ICCs and 129 LR-M HCCs) in 228 patients were included. The mean sizes of ICC and LR-M HCC were 6.3 ± 2.8 cm and 5.5 ± 3.5 cm, respectively (
CONCLUSION CONCLUSIONS
Rim APHE is a key predictor for differentiating ICC from LR-M HCC. Rim APHE plus elevated CA 19-9 and normal AFP is a strong predictor of ICC rather than LR-M HCC. Early washout and marked washout have limited value for the differentiation between the two entities.
