Benign liver tumours are commonly encountered in day-to-day clinical practice. Most cases are asymptomatic and often incidentally detected. Although some have typical imaging appearances posing no diagnostic difficulty, atypical appearances and uncommon benign tumours can be of diagnostic challenge. Furthermore, there is significant overlap in imaging features of various benign and malignant liver tumours. Imaging plays a crucial role in the detection and characterisation of focal liver lesions. Moreover, imaging has a vital role in the detection of complications and in the surveillance of some benign liver tumours. Hence, it is very important for radiologists to be aware of the typical and atypical imaging features of both common and uncommon benign liver tumours.

摘要

Benign liver tumours are commonly encountered in day-to-day clinical practice. Most cases are asymptomatic and often incidentally detected. Although some have typical imaging appearances posing no diagnostic difficulty, atypical appearances and uncommon benign tumours can be of diagnostic challenge. Furthermore, there is significant overlap in imaging features of various benign and malignant liver tumours. Imaging plays a crucial role in the detection and characterisation of focal liver lesions. Moreover, imaging has a vital role in the detection of complications and in the surveillance of some benign liver tumours. Hence, it is very important for radiologists to be aware of the typical and atypical imaging features of both common and uncommon benign liver tumours.
