Context 1
... contrast enhanced computed tomography (CT) scan showed multiple tumors with central necrosis, the largest having a size of 23/12.16/12.11 cm, with the appearance of liver metastases (Figure 1) and in the transverse colon, a iodophilic tumor of about 9.2 cm long, that causes irregular parietal thickening. Colonoscopy revealed diverticulosis of sigmoid and descending colon and a stenosing vegetative tumor near splenic flexure. ...
Context 2
... moderate chronic inflammatory infiltrate, predominantly composed of lymphocytes was found both at the tumor and peritumoral level and even at a distance from the tumor (in the noninvaded hepatic parenchyma) (Figure 9). IHC examination showed an intense reaction of tumor cells to anti-p53 and anti-Ki67 antibodies, demonstrating impaired TP53 gene and increased mitotic activity of tumor cells (Figures 10 and 11). There was also an intense IHC reaction to the anti-α-SMA antibody in the areas with desmoplastic stroma (Figure 12), which indicates the presence of myofibroblastic cells, responsible for the appearance and development of a tumor conjunctival matrix rich in fibrillar collagen. ...

In the tumor stroma, the existence of a network of small blood vessels (arterioles, venules, capillaries) of various sizes, located predominantly in the immediate vicinity of the tumor glands ( Figure 13), was highlighted. ...

Background
Laparoscopic right posterior sectionectomy (LRPS) is one of the most technically challenging and potentially hazardous procedures in laparoscopic liver resection. Although some available literature works demonstrated the safety and feasibility of LRPS, these data are limited to reports from a single institution and a small sample size wi...
