Breast cancer metastases with treatment effect following chemotherapy, resulting in scarring and capsular retraction. This results in a typical appearance of pseudocirrhosis, which can indicate either regression of tumor after treatment, or progression of fibrosis surrounding infiltrative (often hard to see) hepatic metastases.
In contrast to other cases where the liver is enlarged and the patients are not actively on chemotherapy, this case favors treatment response.
