Sclerosis of hepatic cavernous hemangioma: CT findings and pathologic correlation

J Korean Med Sci. 1995 Aug;10(4):294-7. doi: 10.3346/jkms.1995.10.4.294.

Abstract

We report a case of hepatic cavernous hemangioma with computed tomographic findings of well demarcated nodular lesser attenuation foci within the main low attenuation mass on precontrast scans and non-enhancement of the foci even on the delayed contrast scans. These have been described as one of the atypical findings of cavernous hemangioma earlier in the literature. Surgery proved that sclerosis accounted for the hypodense nodular densities within the hepatic cavernous hemangioma.
