Abstract
The computed tomographic (CT) and magnetic resonance appearance of pse udotumorous enlargement of the paracaval portion (PCP) of the caudate lobe of the Liver are presented in two cirrhotic patients. The enlarge d PCP was hyperattenuated on precontrast CT and hyperintense on T1-wei ghted images, The middle and right hepatic veins were displaced around the PCP. The presence of a portal vein branch penetrating the center of the enlarged PCP was important to distinguish it from other hepatic masses in the two patients.
