Figure 4

Axial enhanced abdominal CT image (a) demonstrates an infiltrative tumor-like hepatic lesion with irregular margins and heterogeneous contents, including amorphous calcifications. The fibroinflammatory tissue surrounding the mass (arrowheads) exhibits mild contrast enhancement in a delayed phase coronal reformatted CT image (b). Right portal vein branch thrombosis (arrowheads) is shown in acoronal contrast-enhanced maximum intensity projection (MIP) image (c). Another coronal MIP image (d) depicts severe narrowing of the intrahepatic vena cava inferior (arrowheads).
