Abernethy Malformation Type II and Concurrent Nodular Hyperplasia in a Rare Female Case

Figure 1

(a) The splenic vein and superior mesenteric vein drained directly into the inferior vena cava after confluence (arrow). (b) Note that the branch overlapping with the portal vein in (a) originated from the hepatic artery, not from the portal vein (arrow head). (c) A barely perceptible small branch of the portal vein measuring only 3 mm supplied the left lobe of the liver (arrow). (d) A faintly visible mass in segment 5 approximately 55 mm in size and poorly demarcated with mildly heterogeneous enhancement on arterial phase (arrow), which conferred a diagnosis of tumour initially.
