: Contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) has become more recognized in the diagnosis of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Fat containing HCC often presents as hyper-echoic in gray scale ultrasound and confuses the diagnosis. Here we showed a case of fat containing HCC which was diagnosed by CEUS with Sonazoid, and its histopathologic features, immunohistochemical profile, surgical treatment, patient’s follow up information were also presented.

: The absence of the horizontal portion of the left portal vein is rare, and it is often not diagnosed by ultrasound. This article reports a case where ultrasound identified a structural anomaly between the gallbladder and the round ligament of the liver, and then computed tomography confirmed the absence of the horizontal portion of the left portal vein. We proposed the possible etiologies from an embryonic development perspective, and described the questions to be further investigated after a literature review.

: A case of Marfan syndrome was followed up by echocardiography for 13 years to observe the evolution of cardiovascular disease. The initial cardiovascular manifestations of this patient were "mitral myxoid degeneration, chordal rupture, leaflet prolapse, and massive regurgitation". Subsequently, after several years of development, the aortic sinus and ascending aortic aneurysm dilatation appeared and a new gene mutation site G4331A of FBN1 was found by genetic testing in this patient. Whether the new gene mutation site is related to the initial manifestation of the patient's cardiovascular disease with "mitral valve disease" remains to be further verified.

: Chronic liver disease is common in China and worldwide, with liver fibrosis as the primary pathological finding. Any chronic liver disease can lead to hepatic fibrosis and gradually develop into cirrhosis. Complications, such as portal hypertension, gastrointestinal bleeding, and liver failure can occur. Some patients even develop hepatocellular carcinoma. Thus, timely diagnosis of hepatic fibrosis is vital for the assessment of etiology, treatment, and prognosis. Conventional ultrasound imaging shows low sensitivity with its subjectivity for preliminary diagnosis of liver fibrosis, creating limitations in qualitative and quantitative evaluation. Ultrasound elastography is a recently developed technique that can help overcome these limitations. The elastic imaging method combines conventional ultrasound to assess liver stiffness along with routine examination. This "one-stop" check for liver disease opens new prospects for clinical and scientific research and improves the accuracy of disease diagnosis for broad clinical application. This article will review the current status of ultrasound elastography for its applications in chronic liver diseases.

: Bile duct hamartomas (BDHs), also known as von Meyenburg complexes, are small neoplasms of the liver, of which the pathology is a benign bile duct malformation. We report a case of multiple BDHs of a 55-year-old male diagnosed using two-dimensional (2-D) ultrasound combined with contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) and further clinically diagnosed using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (MRCP). The 2-D ultrasound showed diffusely distributed hyperechoic nodules and cystic masses in the liver, accompanied by small strong echoes with a comet tail sign. The CEUS showed that the hyperechoic nodules observed no abnormal enhancement in the arterial phase and equal enhancement with the surrounding liver tissue in the portal vein and delayed phase. We conclude that the appearance of BDHs on ultrasound has distinct characteristics and can be used as the preferred method for diagnosis. The CEUS can differentially diagnose the disease and improve diagnostic accuracy. Therefore, 2-D ultrasound, combined with CEUS, is a helpful method for diagnosing BDHs.

Phyllodes tumors of the breast are rare fibroepithelial neoplasm which are generally divided into benign, borderline, or malignant. In this case study, we reported a 40-year-old female presented with an asymptomatic right breast mass underwent sonographic evaluation. The surgical histopathology was diagnosed as borderline phyllodes tumor. Sonographic features of the tumor are described in detail, and the relevant literatures are reviewed and discussed.
