Abstract:
Hepatocellular carcinoma is the most common malignant neoplasm arising from the liver. It is well known thatearly contrast enhancement and attenuation are revealed by flow dynamic imaging studies through the development ofabundant feeding vessels. In practice, however, various atypical findings may be noted. These many be due todiversity of various already known pathologic classification methods or the limitations of imaging techniqueswhich cannot exactly delineate all hemodynamic changes. In addition, a variety of degen-eration andhistopathologic and anatomic subtypes may be the cause of various radiologic findings. This illus-trated reportattempts to facilitate the radiologic interpretation of atypical hepatocellular carcinoma by classifi-cation andintroduction according to histologic and anatomic subtypes.
