Περίληψη:
Confluent hepatic fibrosis (CHF) is usually a feature of advanced
cirrhosis, while occurrence in early stage compensated cirrhosis is
uncommon. We report the imaging findings of masslike CHF in a patient
with previously unsuspected compensated alcoholic cirrhosis. The
combination of partially wedge shape, minimal capsular retraction, and
homogeneous delayed enhancement on multiphase contrast-enhanced spiral
CT led to the characterization of the lesions and establishment of the
diagnosis of cirrhosis. (C) 2004 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
