Radiologic-pathologic correlation of uncommon mesenchymal liver tumors.
Mesenchymal liver tumors are rarely encountered in clinical practice. We review the spectrum of mesenchymal liver tumors with radiologic-pathologic correlation. There is an overlap of cross-sectional imaging findings of mesenchymal liver tumors with that of the more common malignant epithelial tumors. Familiarity with the radiologic findings and its pathologic basis would help radiologists to include these uncommon liver tumors in their differential diagnosis.
