Metastasis: Hyperenhancing Liver Lesion
Cancers are sorted by a combination of rarity, overall frequency of metastases, and predilection for this site.
Cancer | Frequency | Comments |
Renal Cell Carcinoma | Uncommon | |
Pancreatic Neuroendocrine | Common | overall, a very common site for metastasis (seen in about half of all pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors). However it is almost never seen from insulinomas and uncommon in VIPoma and gastrinoma. |
Gastrointestinal Carcinoid | Common | most common distant site. Metastases will be hyperenhancing in the arterial phase, although they may become isointense to liver on later phases. |
Pheochromocytoma | Common |
