Core Tip
Core Tip: A 38-year-old woman with a history of systemic lupus erythematosus responded well to corticosteroids (prednisone) and hydroxychloroquine. A liver mass was found on examination, and subsequent computed tomography examination confirmed the liver mass with "ring"-like calcification, and thus malignancy was not ruled out. The patient received surgical treatment, and postoperative pathology showed necrotic nodules surrounded by dense fibers in the liver tissue. There were many lymphocytes and tissue cells around the nodules, which were consistent with isolated necrotic nodules in the liver. The patient is currently being followed.
