Hepatic hemangioma is a common benign vascular hepatic lesion with typical imaging features. However, hepatic hemangiomas with atypical radiological characteristics can sometimes be diagnostically challenging. Here, we report a case of an elderly patient with colonic adenocarcinoma who was incidentally found to have an atypical hepatic hemangioma showing a progressive centrifugal enhancement pattern instead of a typical centripetal pattern on contrast-enhanced computed tomography mimicking a malignant liver lesion.

Peliosis hepatis (PH) is a rare benign condition, characterized by hepatic sinusoidal dilatation and blood-filled cystic cavities, often found incidentally, with still challenging diagnosis by imaging due to polymorphic appearance.
Based on a retrospective analysis of our series (12 patients) and systematic literature review (1990-2022), to organize data about PH and identify features to improve characterization.
Retrospective case series and systematic review.
Twelve patients (mean age 48 years, 55% female) with pathology-proven PH and 49 patients (mean age 52 years, 67% female) identified in 33 studies from the literature (1990-2022).
1,5-T; T1-weighted (T1W), T2-weighted (T2W), diffusion-weighted (DW), contrast-enhanced (CE) T1W imaging.
We compared our series and literature data in terms of demographic (gender/age/ethnicity), clinical characteristics (symptoms/physical examination/liver test), associated conditions (malignancies/infectious/hematologic/genetic or chronic disorders/drugs or toxic exposure) percentage. On magnetic resonance imaging lesion numbers/shape/mean maximum diameter/location/mass effect/signal intensity were compared. PH pathological type/proposed imaging diagnosis/patient follow-up were also considered.
Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) Critical Appraisal Checklist for Case Reports/Series quality assessment. Intraclass correlation and Cohen\'s kappa coefficients for levels of inter/intrareader agreement in our experience.
Patients were mainly asymptomatic (92% vs. 70% in our study and literature) with associated conditions (83% vs. 80%). Lesions showed homogeneous T1W-hypointensity (58% vs. 65%) and T2W-hyperintensity (58% vs. 66%). Heterogeneous nonspecific (25% vs. 51%), centrifugal (34% vs. 8%), or rim-like centripetal (25% vs. 23%) patterns of enhancement were most frequent, with hypointensity on the hepatobiliary phase (HBP), without restricted diffusivity. Good inter- and intrareader agreement was observed in our experience. Concerning JBI Checklist, 19 out of 31 case reports met at least 7 out of 8 criteria, whereas 2 case series fulfilled 5 and 6 out of 10 items respectively.
A homogeneous, not well-demarcated T1W-hypointense and T2W-hyperintense mass, with heterogeneous nonspecific or rim-like centripetal or centrifugal pattern of enhancement, and hypointensity on HBP, may be helpful for PH diagnosis. Among associated conditions, malignancies and drug exposures were the most frequent.
4 TECHNICAL EFFICACY: Stage 2.

Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) is a ubiquitous pathogen infecting a majority of people worldwide, with diseases ranging from mild to life-threatening. Its clinical relevance in immunocompromised people and congenital infections have made treatment and vaccine development a top priority. Because of cytomegaloviruses\' species specificity, murine cytomegalovirus (MCMV) models have historically informed and advanced translational CMV therapies. Using the phenomenon of centrifugal enhancement, we explored differences between MCMVs derived in vitro and in vivo. We found centrifugal enhancement on tissue culture-derived virus (TCV) was ~3× greater compared with salivary gland derived virus (SGV). Using novel \"flow virometry\", we found that TCV contained a distinct submicron particle composition compared to SGV. Using an inhibitor of exosome production, we show these submicron particles are not extracellular vesicles that contribute to centrifugal enhancement. We examined how these differences in submicron particles potentially contribute to differing centrifugal enhancement phenotypes, as well as broader in vivo vs. in vitro MCMV differences.

Porcine circovirus type 2 (PCV2) is difficult to isolate. Currently, no published articles have used the shell vial technique to isolate PCV2. In addition, the action of d-glucosamine on swine testicle cells (ST) has not been evaluated properly. Thus, the aim of this study was to determine an optimal concentration of d-glucosamine and to test the shell vial technique for PCV2 propagation in ST cells. The optimal concentration of d-glucosamine was determined to be 100mM. Because PCV2 is noncytopathic, the traditional adsorption was compared to the shell vial technique for 15 passages by qPCR, and RT-qPCR for passages 12 through 15. The quantities of viral DNA (P=0.013) and ORF1-mRNA detected with the shell vial technique were two-fold higher than the obtained with traditional adsorption. The levels of ORF2-mRNA were similar for both methods; however, by passage 15, a six-fold increase in levels was observed with the shell vial technique. Therefore, the shell vial technique was more efficient for the cultivation of PCV2, and qPCR/RT-qPCR can be used to monitor viral replication. In addition, a high viral load (>2.7×10(10) DNA copies/ml) and high levels of viral mRNA expression indicated that the ST cells were persistently infected.
