title: Hepatic and perihepatic involvement of female genital diseases and pregnancy: a review.
abstract: The liver is rarely involved in female genital diseases or pregnancy. Peripheral hepatic and perihepatic lesions are mainly due to the progression of genital malignancies, usually ovarian cancer. It should be distinguished from other malignant and non-malignant lesions. In all clinical situations, liver involvement is a sign of distant extension or dissemination of female genital diseases. Therefore, accurate detection and characterization of hepatic and perihepatic involvement on imaging is of clinical importance and often changes patient management.
