Imaging Findings of Primary Squamous Cell Carcinoma of the Liver: Case Presentation and Literature Review
Review in Current medical imaging, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
introductionPrimary Squamous Cell Carcinoma of the Liver (PSCCL) is an exceptionally rare clinical entity characterized by diagnostic challenges, aggressive behavior, and poor prognosis. Globally, few studies have investigated PSCCL. CASE PRESENTATION: We report the case of a 76-year-old male patient with PSCCL, detailing his clinical presentation and imaging findings, to offer insights into the preoperative diagnosis of this disease. The patient presented with upper abdominal pain that had lasted for over two weeks without any specific triggers. Laboratory tests revealed abnormal liver function. Ultrasound examination showed a large, solid, hypoechoic mass in the right anterior lobe of the liver with heterogeneous internal echoes. Color Doppler imaging detected limited blood flow signals. Contrast-enhanced Computed Tomography (CT) of the whole abdomen revealed a low-density mass with indistinct margins in the right lobe of the liver, showing uneven and progressive peripheral enhancement. Comprehensive whole-body CT, gastroscopy, and liver biopsy were performed, excluding metastatic disease in other organs. Based on the pathological findings from a percutaneous ultrasound-guided liver biopsy, the patient was diagnosed with PSCCL.
conclusionPSCCL is a rare malignancy that presents significant diagnostic difficulties, often evading easy identification through clinical and imaging examinations. This case report aims to contribute to improving the preoperative diagnosis of PSCCL.
