Abstract
We present the case of a 58-year-old female with no relevant medical or surgical history, who was referred to our hospital with a solitary hepatic lesion. She presented a slightly abnormal liver function in a routine blood test: ALT 71 U/l (range 0-33), AST 40 U/l (range 0-32) and GGT 71 U/l (range 0-40), with no symptoms. Ultrasound imaging showed a 3-cm-size focal lesion with a peripheral hypoechoic rim in the right hepatic lobe. Abdominal computed tomography (CT) scan after contrast injection revealed a subcapsular hypodense lesion in segment VII with capsular retraction. Other extrahepatic lesions were not seen.
