case_images: A computerized tomography scan (CT) demonstrated a cirrhotic liver with a 2 x 2.7 cm focal hypervascular nodule, lying peripherally at the junction of segment 7 and 8 (figure 1).
case_images: Arterial (A) and portal venous phase (B) of IV Gadlinium enhanced axial MRI images demonstrating a solitary 2 cm hypervascular nodule in segment VII (Arrow). A 4.5 cm nodule with similar enhancement characteristics is also noted in the left upper quadrant (Arrow).

case_images: A double contrast MR study, using Gadolinium and resovist contrasts, confirmed the presence of a solitary 2 x 2.5 cm mass with features suggestive of hepatoma, lying within segment 7 in a subcapsular position (figures 2 &3).
case_images: Post Resovet Axial MRI images. The segment VII lesion demonstrates higher signal than the background, reflecting a relative lack of functioning hepatocytes.
