Management of an incidental liver mass

The Surgical Clinics of North America

Abstract

The increased use of sensitive imaging modalities has led to increased identification of the incidental liver mass (ILM). A combination of careful consideration of patient factors and imaging characteristics of the ILM enables clinicians to recommend a safe and efficient course of action. Using an algorithmic approach, this article includes pertinent clinical factors and the specific radiologic criteria of ILMs and discusses the indications for potential procedures. It is the aim of this article to assist with the development of an individualized strategy for each patient with an ILM.
