title: Branching pattern in CT scans of mucin producing carcinoma metastases to the liver.
abstract: Intrahepatic calcification occurring in a branching pattern with a periportal distribution has not previously been described in hepatic metastases. We report a patient with a unique branching pattern of calcified hepatic metastases. There were no low density masses associated with the calcifications as is usually seen in calcified metastases to the liver demonstrated by computed tomography.
