To describe a case of hepatic endometriosis.
Case report.
University hospital.
A 34-year-old woman with a 2-year history of cyclic right subcostal pain.
Gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist (GnRH-a) therapy followed by surgical resection.
Ultrasonography, computed tomography scan, and magnetic resonance imaging of the liver disclosed a 6-cm diameter mass. The GnRH-a therapy for 4 months led to clinical and radiologic improvement. Surgery performed to allow pregnancy confirmed the diagnosis of hepatic endometriosis.
Hepatic endometriosis is uncommon. It may result from metaplasia of the peritoneum or from hematogenic or lymphatic spread.
