Contrast-enhanced ultrasound findings of sclerotic nodules in Wilson disease: A case report.

ABSTRACT:

Rationale

Wilson disease is an autosomal recessive genetic disease found by Samuel Alexander Kinnier Wilson and prevalent in childhood and adolescents.

Patient concerns

An 18-year-old female patient presented to our hospital with a continuous decrease of 3 blood cell lines for more than 10 days, and diagnosed as decompensated cirrhosis. Ultrasonography showed diffuse lesions in the hepatic parenchyma, with multiple hypoechoic light masses in the parenchyma, the outline was still clear, and the internal echo was uneven. Contrast-enhanced ultrasound showed that the nodules were enhanced rapidly and uniformly, with an initial enhancement time of 9 seconds and a peak time of 17.2 seconds. The washing time was slightly earlier than that of the hepatic parenchyma and showed slight
