A Challenging Case of Solitary Necrotic Nodules of the Liver Mimicking Hepatic Metastases: CT, MRI, and PET-CT Findings

We report a very rare case of multiple solitary necrotic nodules of the liver mimicking hepatic metastases in a patient with previous history of lung cancer. The lesions appeared as low-attenuated or low-signal intensity nodules with thin rim enhancement on both contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance (MR) imaging, making them difficult to differentiate from hepatic metastases. This rare benign entity should be kept in mind, especially when lesions are small and located in the subcapsular areas of the liver. Published on 2020-04-07 11:34:44
