MR imaging of the liver. Primary malignant neoplasms in the adult.
Primary malignant liver neoplasms of the adult are discussed with emphasis on hepatocellular carcinoma, the most common neoplasm. The clinical and pathologic aspects of the following neoplasms are correlated with imaging features: hepatocellular carcinoma, fibrolamellar carcinoma, intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma, angiosarcoma, epithelial hemangioendothelioma, other sarcomas, and lymphoma. The complementary role of ultrasound, CT, and MR imaging in characterizing these lesions and determining resectability is highlighted.
