In ontrst, peritonel mlignnt mesotheliom is rre disese, nd mlignnt mesotheliom rising in the liver is extremely rre [2 12]. Moreover, mlignnt mesotheliom of the greter omentum is lso extremely rre [13, 14].

Contrst-enhned omputed tomogrphy (CT) of the domen showed ysti mss mesuring 13 14 11 m in the right loe of the liver with enhned murl nodule (Fig. 1). Mgneti resonne imging (MRI) of the domen showed hyperintense omponents on T2-weighted imging, omptile with the hemorrhgi re (Fig. 1d). Anorml umultion ws seen on 18F-fluorodeoxygluose positron emission tomogrphy (FDG-PET) of the liver nd lower domen (Fig. 2). We then plnned exision of the tumor nd performed heptetomy of the posterior segment nd prtil resetion of the omentum, whih hd een deteted on FDG-PET. Gross exmintion of the hepti tumor showed mssive ysti tumor mesuring 18 15 m ontining hemorrhgi fluid, nd muinous, hemorrhgi rownish or yellowish multinodulr tumors were oserved in the extr ysti wll re (Fig. 3, ). The omentl tumors were two slightly rownish, nodulr tumors mesuring 2.1 1.3 nd 0.3 0.3 m (Fig. 3). Mirosopilly, oth hepti nd omentl tumors omprised tuulr, ysti, or spindle strutures of epithelioid ells with ler or eosinophili ytoplsm (Fig. 4, ). Immunohistohemilly, tumor ells were positive for AE1/AE3, EMA, CK19, CK7, CD10, nd lretinin (Fig. 4), prtly or wekly positive for CK5/6, D2-40, vimentin, nd WT-1, nd negtive for Pge 2 of 5 HepPer1, hromogrnin A, synptophysin, CEA, inhiin α, MUC1, meln A, HMB45, CA19-9, ER, PgR, CD34, l-2, nd β-tenin (Fig. 4d, e). Ki-67 index ws 5 6% (Fig. 4f ). The finl pthologil dignosis ws multiple low-grde mlignnt epithelioid mesotheliom. As of the time of writing, 6 months postopertively, the ptient hs shown no disese reurrene. Disussion Mlignnt mesotheliom ommonly rises from the pleur, ut n lso rise from the peritoneum, perirdium, nd tuni vginlis testis [2]. However, mlignnt mesotheliom of the liver is extremely rre nd oexistene with mlignnt mesotheliom of the greter omentum hs not een ddressed in the literture. Mesotheliom of the liver my rise from Glisson s psule, the hepti fliform ligment or firous onnetive tissue, nd then expnd to the liver prenhym [3]. To serh the litertures, we used key words of intrhepti, mlignnt, nd mesotheliom nd found 12 se reports whih hve desried primry intrhepti mlignnt mesotheliom [2 12] (Tle 1). In detil, these ses involved six men nd six women, with men ge of 58.4 yers (rnge, 41 68 yers). Our se represents the youngest femle se mong these reported ses. Although onventionl mesotheliom is frequently ssoited with sestos exposure, only 1 se hd ler d Left Right Fig. 1 Findings from dominl ultrsonogrphy, CT, nd MRI. Adominl ultrsonogrphy shows n extensive spe-oupying lesion in the right loe of the liver, 15 m in dimeter.

Cross-setion of the upper domen indites norml umultion in the murl nodule in the liver (white rrow). Cross-setion of the lower domen indites norml umultion of the omentl tumor (white rrow) history of sestos exposure. Among the remining 10 ses, 8 ses hd no history of sestos exposure nd 3 were not evluted. One se hd history of virl heptitis, nd 9 ses did not. Men tumor size ws 12.2 m (rnge, 3.2 24 m), nd our se showed the third lrgest mss. Gross finding of the tumor ws ysti mss whih is not ommon, nd there ws no report of se with ysti tumor ever. This tumor ontined hemorrhgi fluid; therefore, we thought tht the tumor might hve led nd formed ysti mss. In 10 ses, the tumor rose in the right loe, s in our se, nd only one tumor rose in the left loe. Surgery ws performed in 10 ses, nd only 1 se reeived est supportive re, due to systemi lymph node swelling nd rupture of the tumor [2]. Pthologilly, mlignnt mesotheliom is lssifile into three sutypes: epithelioid, sromtoid, nd iphsi. The epithelioid type is the most ommon type, nd tuuloppillry or solid vritions n e seen in the tumor [3]. The tumor in our se ws lso dignosed s epithelioid type, ut showed typil findings suh s solid nd tuulr, ysti, or spindle omponents in the tumor, lerly prtitioned from norml liver tissue y firous psule. The tumor showed prtil hyliniztion, ut no nerosis. Typil immunohistohemil fetures re positive results for lretinin, vimentin, ytokertin, WT-1, nd D2-40 nd negtive results for CD34, CEA, AFP, nd Ber-EP4, s seen in our se [3]. In terms of tumor prolifertive tivity, Ki-67 index in the typil mlignnt mesotheliom is 15 20% [11], ut ws 5 6% in our se. The tumor ws therefore Fig. 3 Gross findings of speimens. The hepti tumor represents mssive ysti tumor ontining hemorrhgi fluid nd mesuring 18 15 m. The ut surfes of the tumor show muinous or hemorrhgi, rownish or yellowish multinodulr tumor in the extrysti wll re (white rrow). The ut surfes of the omentl tumors indite multiple solid, rownish, nodulr tumors mesuring 2.1 1.3 nd 0.3 0.3 m (white rrows)

Ki-67 index is 5 6% dignosed s low-grde mlignnt tumor, nd metstsis ws onsidered unlikely, lthough primry mlignnt omentl mesotheliom is lso rre disese. We found only 2 se reports of mlignnt mesotheliom of the omentum reserhing with key words of greter omentum, mlignnt, nd mesotheliom [13, 14]. It ws diffiult to distinguish multiple tumor from metstti omentl tumor in our se. Multiple mlignnt mesothelioms nd metstsis of low-grde mlignnt mesotheliom re oth unlikely.
