Hepatic angiosarcoma: findings on multiphasic contrast-enhanced helical CT do not mimic hepatic hemangioma.
OBJECTIVE
The objective of our study was to identify multiphasic contrast-enhanced helical CT findings of angiosarcoma of the liver to determine whether this tumor could be confused with hemangioma of the liver.


CONCLUSIONS
Angiosarcoma of the liver is a multifocal tumor with a variety of findings on multiphasic contrast-enhanced helical CT. None of the findings would usually be confused with the typical findings of hepatic hemangioma.
