Ref. | Radiological imaging findings |
Strohschneider et al[39] | Unenhanced CT: Hyperdense, well-defined mass in comparison to the normal parenchyma |
Jamshidi et al[33] | Contrast-enhanced CT: Hyperdense appearance compared to normal liver parenchyma |
Ghanem et al[1] | Unenhanced CT: Inhomogeneous, slightly attenuated, lobulated, well-circumscribed, isodense and hypodense mass compared to the liver tissue with some calcifications. Contrast-enhanced CT: Inhomogeneous contrast enhancement |
Salam et al[8] | Contrast-enhanced CT: Mass adjacent to the portal vein enhanced in the arterial phase and washed out in the portal phase |
Fernandez et al[9] | Contrast-enhanced CT: Heterogeneously enhancing mass |
Present case | Non-enhanced CT: Heterogenous, well-circumscribed, high density mass compared to liver parenchyma with calcification. Contrast-enhanced CT: Well-circumscribed, intensely enhancing mass in the arterial phase with decreasing intensity in the venous phase alongside calcification |
CT Angiography (widened image thickness construct): Right hepatic artery supplying the lesion shown clearly in arterial phase | |
MRI: Well-demarcated mass with enhancement on T1 and T2 weighted imaging with mixed signal intensity. Diminished signal intensity in both arterial and venous phases |
