He returns to discuss repeat hepatic resection. He recovered very well after XI hepatic resection without complications. He continues chemotherapy with Dr. Tan, with last treatment 3 weeks ago. Surveillance MRI 11/9 showed 2 new lesions, 1.2 and 0.6 cm, followed by PET scan with very slight uptake.He feels wells overall, good appetite, no weight loss.

FINDINGS: Liver: Postsurgical changes of hepatic segment 2 resection, withotherwise normal hepatic morphology. No surface nodularity. Noabnormal hepatic fat or iron deposition. - Bile ducts: Nondilated.- Focal liver lesions: There are 2 new arterially enhancing lesionswithin the periphery of hepatic segment 4A/8 measuring 1.2 and 0.6 cm(series 21, image 35 and 34/88, respectively), with associatedhepatobiliary phase hypoenhancement (series 39, image 27 and 24/88).Evaluation of associated diffusion restriction is limited due tosusceptibility artifact.- Vasculature: Conventional hepatic arterial anatomy.Gallbladder: Normal.Pancreas: Normal.Spleen: Normal.Adrenals: Normal.Kidneys: A tiny T2 hyperintense lesion within the left mid kidneylikely represents a simple renal cyst. Kidneys are otherwise normal,without hydronephrosis.Bladder: Nondistended.Reproductive organs: Bilateral hydroceles. Sequela of prostatitis. Other Findings: Heart size is normal, without pericardial effusion.No pleural effusion or pulmonary consolidation. No evidence of bowelobstruction. Post surgical changes of right hemicolectomy. Abdominalaorta is normal in course and caliber. No suspicious osseous lesion.
IMPRESSION:Interval development of two hepatic segment 4A/8 lesions, suspiciousfor metastatic disease.PET 11/19/25
IMPRESSION:Suggestion of subtle uptake in the area of queriedhepatic segment 4A enhancing lesion on recent MRI, which mayrepresent metastasis versus physiologic artifact. No evidence ofhypermetabolic disease elsewhere.ASSESSMENT:50 y.o. year old male with a history of metastatic terminal ileum adenocarcinoma to the liver s/p segment 2 hepatic resection in 5/2025, now with two new hepatic lesions in segment 8 which are concerning for metastatic disease warranting resection. PLAN:Recent MRI and PET scan were reviewed. We will plan for a robotic hepatic segment 8 wedge resection. Procedure described in detail, consents obtained. He would like to avoid scheduling 12/8-12/11 due to a planned trip. I, Morgen Rockel, PA-C, MMS, have personally taken a history, examined the patient, and documented the assessment and plan as noted. The patient was seen with Dr. Chapman in the Center for Advanced Medicine.
