Abstract

Objective:To analyze the CT appearances of atypical liver abscess and deepen the understanding of this disease.Methods:12 cases of atypical liver abscess proved by clinical or pathological data were reviewed,all of them were examined by plain CT scan and enhanced scan.Results:In plain CT scan,the atypical liver abscesses exhibited as hypodensity mass;enhanced CT showed peripheral enhancement sign,mass diminution sign,honeycomb enhancement and delayed enhancement.Conclusion:Atypical liver abscess is nonspecific on plain CT scan,the enhanced appearance is characteristic so helps to the diagnosis.
