Giant area of transient hepatic attenuation difference, mimicking incidentaloma at liver ultrasound.

2010

Concurrent with recent advances in diagnostic imaging techniques, the incidental finding of liver tumors, or incidentalomas, is increasing in asymptomatic and healthy individuals [1]. A 56-year-old healthy man underwent an abdomen ultrasound for a clinical check-up. A diffuse bright liver echo-pattern (indicating a low-moderate grade steatosis) and an unusual image (diameter approximately 10 cm) in the VI–VII hepatic segment, characterized by a massive giant hypoechoic lesion with poorly defined margins and a near rounded hyperechoic area (diameter about 4 cm) in the context were found (Fig. 1). The ultrasonographer suspected an angioma as first diagnostic hypothesis; however the large hypo…
