Abstract

A 64-year-old woman, being managed for carcinoma of the cervix, was incidentally found to have a solitary liver lesion on computed tomography (CT). The rounded lesion was well-defined and hypodense on unenhanced CT. Dynamic and delayed contrast CT demonstrated the typical enhancing pattern of cavernous haemangioma. The role of imaging in the diagnosis of hepatic haemangiomas is discussed.
