The [[Computed tomography|CT scan]] findings of hepatocellular adenoma are usually variable and characteristic [[Lesion|lesions]] are best seen with multiphase helical [[Computed tomography|CT scanning]]. The [[Computed tomography|CT scan]] findings include non-lobulated and well-marginated mass that can be encapsulated and is rarely [[Calcification|calcified]]. A [[heterogeneous]] hypo-attenuating area within the [[tumor]] may be seen in cases of [[necrosis]] or old [[hemorrhage]]. Large hepatocellular adenomas may be more [[heterogeneous]] than smaller [[Lesion|lesions]] and their [[Computed tomography|CT scan]] appearance is less specific.

Overview

The CT scan findings of hepatocellular adenoma are usually variable and characteristic lesions are best seen with multiphase helical CT scanning. The CT scan findings include non-lobulated and well-marginated mass that can be encapsulated and is rarely calcified. A heterogeneous hypo-attenuating area within the tumor may be seen in cases of necrosis or old hemorrhage. Large hepatocellular adenomas may be more heterogeneous than smaller lesions and their CT scan appearance is less specific.
