Disappearance of Hepatocellular Adenoma in a Patient with Cornelia de Lange Syndrome after Treatment with Transcatheter Arterial Embolization

Abstract

Cornelia de Lange syndrome (CdLS) is a congenital disorder occasionally associated with congenital portosystemic shunt (CPSSs). We herein report a patient with CdLS and CPSS who developed hepatocellular adenomas (HCAs). The patient presented to our hospital for the further investigation of newly diagnosed liver tumors. Imaging findings and pathological examination results indicated that the liver tumors were inflammatory HCAs that subsequently shrank following transcatheter arterial embolization (TAE). Patients with CdLS and CPSS are at risk of developing HCAs, and TAE may be an effective management strategy for HCA in these patients.
