Perihepatic parasitic leiomyoma
A 49-year-old woman presented with a 1-week history of intermittent abdominal pain in the right quadrants. Her past medical history was unremarkable except for a robotic benign hysterectomy and an open appendectomy that she received 2 and 27 years earlier, respectively. Physical examination was unremarkable. Laboratory studies, including a complete blood count, C-reactive protein, and liver function tests, were normal. Abdominal computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging (Fig 1) revealed a 6 × 5 × 4 cm, well-circumscribed, and heterogeneously enhancing mass in the context of the right lobe of the liver.
