Abstract

The present case report describes imaging findings (CT and MRI features) of a primary malignant fibrous hystiocitoma, presenting as a dual stage lesion, completely exophytic along liver surface with surgical and histological correlations. Imaging characteristics suggested the nature of the lesion (mesenchymal) and the behavior (expansile growth pattern) which addressed surgeons to a conservative excision.
