Abstract
We report a case of hepatic angiosarcoma that is usually difficult to diffe rentiate from cavernous hemangioma on computed tomography. The present case suggests that early central enhancement and arterioportal shunting on dyna mic computed tomography might be helpful for distinguishing hepatic angiosa rcoma with a solid growth pattern from benign vascular neoplasms of the liv er such as cavernous hemangioma.
