Normal size of the liver with diffuse low attenuation of its parenchyma. Two well defined hypodense hepatic focal lesions are seen in subsegments II and V measuring 1.9 X 1.5 and 2.7 X 2.2 cm respectively. They show early peripheral nodular enhancement in the arterial phase with progressive centripetal filling-in in the portal-venous and delayed phases. Two similar suncentimetric lesions are seen in subsegment VII. Complementary ultrasound showed these lesions to be hyperechoic with weak posterior acoustic enhancement.
