title: [A mastocytoma of the liver--computed tomographic follow-up and biopsy].
abstract: CT findings of a mastocytoma of the liver are reported. Follow-up studies over 1 year showed density changes in both the pre- and postcontrast scan. Diagnosis was established by percutaneous CT-guided biopsy, which was complicated by a simultaneous anaphylactoid reaction, probably due to direct histamine liberation.
