| Popis: | Changes of the hepatic subcapsular blood flow with the early appearance of hypervascularity near the falciform ligament are rare radiologic findings. They present most frequently in cases of superior vena cava (SVC) obstruction and are related to the recruitment of the cavo-mammary-phrenic–hepatic–capsule–portal and the cavo-superficial–umbilical–portal pathways. We present the case of a 52-year-old female patient with an highly aggressive retroperitoneal liposarcoma with SVC obstruction caused by external compression due to a mediastinal metastatic mass. The patient exhibited no symptoms of SVC obstruction due to the collateral cavo-portal pathways. |
