LIVER CIRRHOSIS,METS & HEPATOMA GUIDED BY: DR. AMBRISH KUMAR
NORMAL LIVER IS Wedge shaped 4 Lobes: Right, Left, Caudate and Quadrate Blood Supply: Hepatic artery & portal vein Have True and False ligaments
LIVER CIRRHOSIS Cirrhosis is diffuse scarring of liver and is characterized by fibrous scar tissue and regenerative nodules formation. It is a consequence of chronic liver disease
CAUSES: A lcohol, Autoimmune B iliary obstruction C hronic viral hepatitis D rugs and Toxins H emochromatosis I diopathic W ilsons disease
PATHOPHYSIOLOGY
TYPES- Alcoholic Post Necrotic Biliary Cardiac
Alcoholic Cirrhosis M ost common type of cirrhosis Alcohol causes inflammation to liver cells Fatty deposits and hepatomegaly Scar tissue forms and surrounds the portal area .
Post-Necrotic Cirrhosis (Macro-nodular) Caused by viral hepatitis or hepatotoxins Scar tissue formed destroys liver lobes. Have broad bands of scar tissue Liver initially enlarges but then SHRINKS in size.
POST NECROTIC CIRRHOSIS
Most nodules>3 mm fibrous bands are thin. Nodules<3mm
BILIARY CIRRHOSIS Rare autosomal disease Characterized by destruction of bile ductules within the triads of liver Intense chronic inflammatory infiltrates Excessive bile leads to liver cell destruction and nodules formation in lobes. Incidence: 5-10%
Greenish discoloration due to cholestasis Biliary sludge in dilated bile ducts with thick fibrotic walls.
CARDIAC CIRRHOSIS Seen along with right sided heart failure Liver gets engorged with venous blood Liver gets enlarged, edematous and dark Anoxia occurs d\t venous congestion
Cut surface of the congested liver reminiscent of the classic “nutmeg appearance” which is caused by chronic passive congestion of the central veins with hemorrhage and necrosis. Red cells pool and distend the sinusoids around the central vein. These regions develop a darker red-violet color, in contrast to the surrounding tan liver parenchyma.
Colorectal Hepatic Metastasis Colorectal cancer(CRC) is 3 rd most prevalent cancer in world. Almost 20% to 25% of patients with CRC present with distant metastasis at the time of diagnosis. 10% to 30% patients with CRC with newly diagnosed disease and liver only deposits have resectable metastases.
Liver is m\c site for hematogenous metastasis from colorectal cancers. In pts with liver metastasis, extent of liver disease is the prime determinant of survival
Outcome of Untreated Metastatic Colorectal Ca Median Survival is 5 to 10 months 2 year survival is unusual 5 year survival is extremely rare
Neuroendocrine Hepatic Metastasis Slowly progressive tx Higher Resectability Metastases occurs through portal tract Intrahepatic long time Extra hepatic metastasis
GROSS- Single or multiple Solid or cystic Size >2cm
Hepatic Mets-: FROM BREAST CA Breast cancer can spread to liver through Lymphatic Hematogenous
HEPATOMA It is a malignancy arising from parenchyma of liver. It is 6 th most common primary tumor and 3 rd leading cause of cancer related mortality
Microscopically, classified into Fibrolamella Pseudoglandular Pleomorphic Clear Cell
Hyperchromatic Clear Cells With Large Reddish Cytoplasm
Pale Mass within the Liver and it may be unifocal , multifocal or difuse
