Summary
Diagnosing rare liver lesions is simplified by categorizing them into four groups: hypervascular, hypovascular, fat-containing, or cystic. This review details their radiological features across multiple imaging modalities.
Area of Science:
- Radiology
- Hepatology
- Medical Imaging
Background:
- Uncommon liver lesions present diagnostic challenges due to unfamiliar imaging characteristics.
- Effective diagnosis relies on understanding diverse radiological appearances.
Purpose of the Study:
- To simplify the diagnostic approach to uncommon liver lesions.
- To review the multimodality imaging features of these lesions.
Main Methods:
- Categorization of lesions based on dominant imaging features: hypervascular, hypovascular, fat-containing, and cystic.
- Profiling radiological features using ultrasound (US), computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and nuclear medicine.
Main Results:
- Detailed description of imaging findings for each lesion category.
- Emphasis on distinguishing features across different modalities.
Conclusions:
- A structured categorization aids in diagnosing uncommon liver lesions.
- Multimodality imaging is crucial for comprehensive characterization.

The microscopic anatomy of the liver is a complex and intricate system that comprises numerous structural units known as liver lobules, each of which is comparable in size to a sesame seed. These hexagonal structures consist of plates of liver cells or hepatocytes, which are characterized by their versatility and abundance of cellular apparatus like rough and smooth ER, Golgi apparatus, peroxisomes, and mitochondria.

The liver, the largest gland within the human body, is a firm and reddish-brown organ. This wedge-shaped structure weighs approximately 1.5 kg and occupies a significant portion of the right hypochondriac and epigastric regions. It extends more to the right of the body's midline than to the left.
Located under the diaphragm, the liver is almost entirely ensconced within the rib cage, providing it with substantial protection. Except for the superior most bare area, the liver's surface is...

Liver and gallbladder diseases are a significant health concern, with prominent conditions including cirrhosis, hepatitis, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), and gallstones. Jaundice is a common manifestation of liver and biliary disease.
Cirrhosis is characterized by the scarring of hepatic lobules in the liver, which are replaced by fibrous tissue, affecting the liver's normal functioning. NAFLD, on the other hand, is caused by an excessive build-up of fat in the liver, not...
