Presumptive case of sparganosis manifesting as a hepatic mass: A case report and literature review

Figure 1 Liver computed tomography imaging. A: Axial noncontrast computed tomography (CT) image showing an ovoid low attenuation lesion (arrow) in the right hepatic dome. This mass has internal linear or curvilinear cord-like lesions that are most likely calcified. This mass (arrow) measured 6.3 cm × 3.5 cm. B: Axial contrast-enhanced CT image clearly showing that this ovoid lesion (arrow) does not have any enhanced portions, which suggests a totally necrotic lesion or a cystic mass. The internal cord-like structures are bizarrely arranged; C: Coronal contrast-enhanced CT image showing that the internal structures within the mass (arrow) are arranged in a whirling manner; D: Low attenuation (-22 Hounsfield units) region (arrow) in the center of the mass on a contrast-enhanced CT image, suggesting the presence of a small amount of fat.
