Hepatic mesenchymal tumors (HMTs) are non-epithelial benign and malignant tumors with or without specific mesenchymal cell differentiation. They are relatively uncommon. Except for mesenchymal hamartoma, calcified nested stromal-epithelial tumor, and embryonal sarcoma, most mesenchymal lesions are not specific to the liver. Pathologists face challenges in diagnosing HMTs due to their diverse morphologies and phenotypic variations. Accurate diagnosis is critical for directing appropriate patient care and predicting outcomes. This review focuses on mesenchymal tumors with a relative predilection for the liver, including vascular and non-vascular mesenchymal neoplasms. It provides a thorough and up-to-date overview, concentrating on clinical and pathological features, differential diagnosis, and diagnostic approaches.
肝间叶性肿瘤(HMTs)是具有或不具有特定间叶细胞分化的非上皮性良性和恶性肿瘤。它们相对不常见。除间叶性错构瘤、钙化性巢状间质上皮肿瘤和胚胎性肉瘤外,大多数间叶性病变并非肝脏所特有。由于其形态多样和表型变异,病理学家在诊断HMTs时面临挑战。准确诊断对于指导适当的患者护理和预测预后至关重要。本综述重点关注相对好发于肝脏的间叶性肿瘤,包括血管性和非血管性间叶性肿瘤。它提供了全面且最新的概述,重点关注临床和病理特征、鉴别诊断及诊断方法。
