Imaging Findings

Computed Tomography (Fig. 1,2,3)
Gross Pathology
Histology

Three contrast-enhanced images from the computed tomography (CT) study are shown. The first image represents the early arterial phase. A heterogeneously enhancing mass, approximately 4-5 cm in size, is visible in the liver. There is no evidence of calcifications. The late-arterial phase image (figure 2) demonstrates additional enhancement of the mass. On the portal venous phase image (figure 3), the enhancement has decreased. The mass is iso-attenuating with the rest of the liver.
