Sonazoid-enhanced ultrasonography and pathologic characters of CD68 positive cell in primary hepatic perivascular epithelioid cell tumors: A case report and literature review

Abstract: Perivascular epithelioid cell tumor (PEComa) is a mesenchymal tumor rarely described in the liver. Sonazoid is a new ultrasound contrast with both vascular and post-vascular phases due to the uptake of Kupffer cell. CD68 is a defined immunohistorical staining marker for macrophage including Kupffer cell. No previous cases have been reported to reveal Kupffer images in the post-vascular phase by using Sonazoid and pathologic characters of CD68 positive cell in PEComa. Herein, we describe the first case to present Sonazoid contrast-enhanced ultrasonography (CEUS) findings in Kupffer images and CD68 positive cell in hepatic PEComa which may lead to rethink of the phagocytic properties of macrophages.
