Case Discussion
The atoll sign in hepatic imaging has been characterized as a liver lesion with a peripheral rim of high T2 signal intensity and a core that appears isointense to the background of non-cirrhotic liver on T2WI, like an atoll. It is regarded a defining feature of an inflammatory hepatic adenoma, yet it occurs in only around one-third of cases.
In chest imaging the atoll sign, also known as the reversed halo sign, is a focal ground-glass opacity surrounded by a ring of consolidation that might be complete or incomplete. The symptom was first identified in organizing pneumonia, although it can also appear in infections, infarctions, granulomatous disease, inflammation, and tumors.
