Hepatocellular carcinoma in an ectopic liver: CT findings.
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in an ectopic liver is very rare and its CT findings have never been reported. We present an ectopic HCC between the spleen and left diaphragm, mimicking a splenic neoplasm on the CT scan. A follow up CT at seven months postoperatively revealed multiple recurrent HCCs in the mother liver.
