Objective To investigate CT and MRI features of hepatic sclerosed hemangioma (HSH).

Methods CT findings were retrospectively reviewed in 20 cases HSH, all which confirmed pathologically after surgery. Twenty patients underwent scan,4 MRI. Meanwhile, the enhancement pattern signal intensity analyzed either.

Results Twenty showed main part tumor was hypo-attenuating on plain scanning, 16 central area markedly more scanning. After administration intravenous contrast media, multifocal linear or small nodular peripheral seen during arterial phase HSH. Venous phases centripetal spread around nodules continued to delayed with low density no lesion area. Four obvious slight separation sample at edge inside lesions a wide range non areas venous phase. performed examination, demonstrated hypointensity lower T1WI, hyperintensity higher T2WI. The DWI sequence b value 0, 150, 800 s/mm2, obviously hypointensity. phase, irregular concentric there center lesion.

Conclusions The HSH different from cavernous hemangioma, larger similar other masses scar, differential diagnosis dependence dynamic enhanced scan.
