Metastatic melanoma is a significant public health issue in Australia and New Zealand. Although melanoma commonly metastasises to the liver, isolated hepatic metastases are rare, with isolated metastasis to portohepatic lymph nodes being scarce. As such, the optimal management strategy for this subset of patients remains unclear. Here, we present a case of a patient with isolated portohepatic metastases management with a combination neoadjuvant immunotherapy and surgical resection. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

A 54-year-old woman presented with an incidentally identified asymptomatic liver lesion with imaging characteristics suspicious for malignancy. She underwent a left hemihepatectomy for presumed cholangiocarcinoma. Histopathology revealed granulomas with microbiological investigations later revealing a diagnosis of isolated hepatic tuberculosis. There were no pulmonary or other disease sites identified. The patient has been medically managed for primary hepatic tuberculosis and remains well postoperatively. This case identifies a rare differential for a liver mass that needs to be considered in the clinicians' workup. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Here we describe a case of heterotopic, supradiaphragmatic liver in a 65-year-old woman who was referred for investigation of a soft tissue gallbladder mass. Contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging revealed adenomyomatosis of the gallbladder and supradiaphragmatic accessory liver tissue. This is a remarkably rare normal variant. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
