Disease Location
Liver
Personal Characteristics
47-year-old woman, mood disorders treated with aripiprazole and lithium carbonate
Clinical Characteristics
Consulted for abdominal pain without fever. An ultrasound examination revealed the presence of three hyperechogenic focal hepatic lesions with posterior reinforcement: two lesions under 4 cm in size, compatible with typical haemangiomas and one 10 cm lesion, compatible with a giant haemangioma.
Remission Characteristics
3 years later, a liver MRI revealed a change in the aspect of the haemangiomas: reduction in the size of all of the lesions, modification of the t2 signal intensity and disappearance of the typical enhancement kinetics for the giant haemangioma.
Treatment & Mechanisms
Proposed Remission Mechanisms
Not discussed
Clinical Treatment
Aripiprazole and lithium carbonate (for mood disorders)
