Necropsy findings included the accentuation of the hepatic lobular pattern and multiple focally extensive red areas in the rumen mucosa and on the surface of the liver.
Double transgenic mice presented with enlarged spleens and kidneys, enlarged, disorganized blood vessels located near the surface of the liver, sprouting, dilation, and disorganization of liver lymphatics, and turbulent flow in about 1/4 of the blood vessels sampled.
Intraoperatively, the surface of the liver was smooth and the edge was sharp.
The tumor was not exposed on either the surface or the cut surface of the liver.
Tumors were located near the surface of the liver in this case.
Ablation lesions were generated at depths up to 1.5 cm from the surface of the liver and were not visible in B-mode.
Air in the gastrointestinal tract never overlaps the ventral surface of the liver hence a sonographic pattern of free air at the ventral surface of the liver is diagnostic for pneumoperitoneum [6].
Typical sites of tumour nodules were the surface of the liver, around the pancreas and the bowel mesentery.
The tumor was oval in shape, 13 × 10 cm in diameter, and attached to the inferior surface of the liver.
A 3-mm tumor was detected on the surface of the liver (segment IV) and was removed.
Liver surgeons use an argon beam to stop livers bleeding, but can also use it to burn the surface of the liver to sketch out the area of an operation.
