Ultrasonography and computed tomography of hepatic candidiasis in immunosuppressed patients.

Cystic, target-like lesions were found in three patients receiving chemotherapy for myeloproliferative diseases. The computed tomographic appearance is less characteristic. A possible explanation for the appearance of these lesions is presented.
