From the case:
Hepatic hemangioma simulating hepatic laceration

Hypodense region within hepatic segment 7 with multiple foci of arteral contrast seen at the anterior and medial margin. No subcapsular hematoma, perihepatic blood or other evidence of traumatic injury in this region.
From the case:
Hepatic hemangioma simulating hepatic laceration
{"current_user":null,"step_through_annotations":true,"access":{"can_edit":false,"can_download":true,"can_toggle_annotations":true,"can_feature":false,"can_examine_pipeline_reports":false,"can_pin":false},"extraPropsURL":"/studies/49716/annotated_viewer_json?lang=us"}
Portal venous and delayed phase images show progressive centripetal contrast filling of the segment 7 abnormality characteristic of hepatic hemangioma.
Case Discussion
Example of a large hepatic haemangioma simulating a liver laceration with contrast extravasation in a trauma patient. Hemangiomas are common incidental findings and are important to consider as a differential for traumatic injury, particularly if there are no other supporting features of trauma in the region.
