  • Title: The humbling hemangioma: uncommon CT and MRI imaging features and mimickers of hepatic hemangiomas.
    Author: Dane B, Shanbhogue K, Menias CO, Taffel MT.
    Journal: Clin Imaging; 2021 Jun; 74():55-63. PubMed ID: 33434867.
    Abstract:
    Cavernous hemangiomas are among the most common liver lesions encountered in abdominal imaging. While classical imaging characteristics usually aid the radiologist in confidently arriving at its diagnosis, atypical hemangiomas can prove to be difficult to distinguish from other more worrisome hepatic lesions such as metastases and hepatocellular carcinoma. Furthermore, some malignant lesions can display features that simulate hemangiomas. The radiologist must be aware of these pitfalls to make an accurate diagnosis, when possible.
