Tóm tắt

We present three cases of focal eosinophilic infiltration in the liver that mimicked hepatic malignancy on computed tomography during hepatic arteriography (CTHA) and computed tomography during arterial portography (CTAP). In all patients, focal eosinophilic liver infiltration appeared as a solitary nodule or as two nodules without hepatosplenomegaly and showed homogeneous hyperattenuation on CTHA and hypoattenuation on CTAP.
