Images in a 50–60-year-old sex "1". a. Several hypo-echoic lesions were fused in segment 5 of the liver, which presented as a claw-like shape, with a size of approximately 3.8 cm × 2.8 cm. Color Doppler did not detect obvious blood flow signal in the lesions, and normal hepatic blood vessels could be seen in the surrounding region. b. In arterial phase (timer, 00:20), the lesions showed thin peripheral rim-like enhancement and septum enhancement in the interior lesions, but most of the lesions were not enhanced, and the thickness of the enhanced ring around the lesions was 0.21–0.25 cm. The enhanced portion of the lesions showed iso-enhancement in the portal phase (timer, 00:40) and delayed phase (timer, 02:05), and the center of the lesions were not enhanced in these two phases. c. On the section of the resected specimen, the lesions were yellow white, with focal lesions fusing, and the boundary was clear. The lesions were necrotic tissue, and hyperplastic fibrous tissue and inflammatory cell were seen around the lesions(hematoxylin and eosin, × 100)
