摘要
The incidence of primary and metastatic diaphragm tumors is rare. Etiologically speaking, diaphragmatic metastases usually derive from either lymphatic or hematogenous spread. Furthermore, studies show that peritoneal stomata played an important role in this process. We herein cover a metastatic diaphragm tumor mimicking a liver lesion originating from ascending colon carcinoma, an entity that has rarely been reported previously.
