Tri-alkoxysalicyl-1,4-diazepan-6-amine (TAoS-DAZA) ligands, radiolabelled with 68Ga, have been proposed as PET/CT agents for depiction and quantification of hepatobiliary function and evaluation of bile excretion. In the presented case, a patient with hepatocellulary carcinoma underwent PET/CT with the TAoS-derivate 68Ga-tri-methoxysalicyl-(TMoS)-DAZA to determine the patency of intrahepatic and extrahepatic bile ducts, in particular of a stent in the common bile duct. The PET/CT was performed without complications...

Congenital portosystemic shunts are rare vascular malformations that lead to several complications including liver tumors, pulmonary hypertension, and metabolic encephalopathy. We describe a rare case of a 17-year-old girl with an extrahepatic portosystemic shunt presenting recurrent syncope episodes and a liver mass mimicking hepatocellulary carcinoma.

Chronic hepatitis C (HCV) infection has a prevalence of 2-3% worldwide. The vertical transmission rate is approximately 5%. There is no evidence to recommend abstinence from breastfeeding or elective C-section to prevent transmission. In children, the natural history of HCV infection is typically benign, but liver cirrhosis and hepatocellulary carcinoma are later complications. Children with HCV infection may benefit from early treatment with pegylated interferon and ribavirin with duration depending on genotype...
