Case History
The patient is a 51 year old male with a past medical of HepC who presents for follow up imaging after a 2x 4 x4cm liver mass was noted on abdominal US evaluating previous abdominal distension.

Heterogeneous lesion found in segment 4 of the liver, diameter <20mm. Mass displays an area of low attenuation that does not enhance with contrast. Lesion exhibits Iso-density during pre-contrast phase, hyper-dense during arterial phase, iso-density with the venous phase, and hypo-density during delayed phase.
Patchy enhancement of liver parenchyma can be noted especially on venous phase. Live edges show mild scalloping. Some evidence of portal hypertension with portal vein measuring 16 mm, and some splenomegaly noted.
Right hepatic artery arises from superior mesenteric artery, and left hepatic artery arises from celiac axis.

Hemangiomas
• Benign vascular tumor• Low attenuation on unenhanced CT scans• Have a characteristic nodular enhancement beginning the periphery that progresses centrally•The contrast is retained, causing hemangiomas to be enhanced and hyper dense on delayed phase

Metastasis
•Tend to be multiple, but can occasionally present as a solitary nodule.•Typical present as low attenuating masses.•Most commonly GI in origin, and spread via portal venous system•Therefore these metastases often enhance during venous contrast phase

Primary Malignancy
•Hepatocellular Carcinoma is the common primary malignancy of liver• Frequently seen in the setting of liver cirrhosis•Also must consider Colangiocarcinoma
•Defining features of HCC– Arterial hyper enhancement– Washout vs. Fading– Capsule or Corona enhancement– Threshold growth– Invasion of portal vein
•Other features that are often found– Central necrosis– Calcifications

LR1: Continued routine surveillance usually is appropriate. LR2: Continued routine surveillance usually is appropriate. LR3: Appropriate management is variable, depending mainly on size, stability, and clinical considerations. LR4: Close follow up, additional imaging, biopsy, or treatment (loco-regional treatment, sub-total hepatic resection) may be appropriate.
LR5: Treatment without biopsy is appropriate.
