An interesting hepatic mass: splenosis mimicking a hepatocellular carcinoma (2003:9b)

Eur Radiol. 2003 Dec;13(12):2713-5. doi: 10.1007/s00330-003-1978-5.

Abstract

We report a splenosis mimicking hepatocellular carcinoma in a patient with chronic liver disease. Knowledge of these imaging findings, including helical CT, angiography, CT hepatic arteriogram, CT arterioportogram, and iodized-oil CT, may obviate unnecessary surgery.
