Capsular retraction in hepatic giant hemangioma: CT and MR features.
We report two cases of hepatic giant hemangiomas with capsular retraction of the liver adjacent to the tumor on computed tomography and magnetic resonance images. Our cases show that the retraction of the liver capsule adjacent to the tumor is not a finding specific to malignant hepatic tumors but can also be observed in benign hepatic tumors.
