Abstract

Uncommon liver lesions pose a diagnostic challenge because of unfamiliar imaging findings. For simplification, these lesions can be divided into four broad categories based on the dominant imaging feature in each: hypervascular, hypovascular, fat-containing, or cystic lesions. In this review, we profile the radiological features of uncommon liver lesions on multimodality imaging including ultrasound (US), computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and nuclear medicine.
