title: [CT in the therapeutic evaluation of rare primary hepatic malignant tumors].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To discuss the significance of CT in the therapeutic evaluation of rare primary hepatic carcinoma.
  
  
  METHODS
  The CT images and surgical data of 15 cases of rare primary hepatic malignant tumors were retrospectively analyzed. The correlative relationship between the CT images of common plus enhanced scan and the surgical operative difficulties was also analyzed.
  
  
  RESULTS
  If CT images showed that huge lesions existed, severe lobles were involved, capsules were incomplete, the main branch of the portal venous system was involved, and the external structure of the liver was invaded before the operation, the operation might be more difficult, and complications and death might happen.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  CT images will directly indicate the difficulty of operation for rare primary hepatic malignant tumors before the operation, and an objective evaluation on the therapeutic method and operative effect can be made by CT examination.
