CT Manifestations and Differential Diagnosis for Mass-like Hepatic Lesion

Objective: To evaluate the role of CT in manifestations and differential diagnosis of mass - like hepatic lesion. Methods 310 cases of mass - like hepatic lesion, including hepatocellular carcinoma, metastasis, hemangioma,abscess, cyst, hydatidosis were included. The CT findings including mass location,number,edge and the delve of contrast - enhancement were analyzed. Results On CT, mass - like lesions manifested single or multiple lesions with low density, with sharp edge or without,with contrastenhancement in venous degrees or without. In our study, there were characteristic CT manifestations for hepatocellular careinoma, metastasis tumor, hemangioma, abscess, cyst and hydatidosis. Conclusion The diagnosis and differential diagnosis can be made correctly with CT manifestations in most of mass - like hepatic lesions.
