Overview
Ultrasound is the initial evaluation method of choice for the diagnosis of liver mass. On ultrasound, characteristic findings of liver mass, may include: fluid-filled spaces without clear walls, posterior acoustic enhancement, anechoic, hypohechoic, or hyperechoic lesions. The evaluation of liver mass will mainly depend on the echogenecity. Further evaluation with ultrasound should include Doppler examination to determine vascular pattern.[1][2]
