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.

WHO estimates that half of all patients worldwide are non-adherent to their prescribed medication. The consequences of poor adherence can be catastrophic, on both the individual and population level.

Join our expert panel to discover why you need to understand the drivers of non-adherence in your patients, and how you can optimize medication adherence in your clinics to drastically improve patient outcomes.
