<div>(a) CT scan of the abdomen. Note the hepatic hemangioma (crossed lines 1 and 2). (b) Liver histology. Left to right: Liver parenchyma is present which, although subcapsular, shows evidence of marked distortion of the normal architecture, with fibrosis present surrounding regenerative-type nodules. Masson trichome stain shows extensive interstitial fibrosis surrounding regenerative-type nodules, as can be appreciated on the microphotograph. Reticulin stain shows twinning of the cell plates, which can be appreciated on the microphotograph.</div>
