A round-shaped hepatic infarction detected in a diabetes patient: MRI findings and literature review
نویسندگان
چکیده
Hepatic infarction is a rare disease because of a dual blood supply in the liver. It is difficult to diagnose clinically without a histopathological examination and imaging examinations are useful. We report a case of 45-yearold woman with diabetes who showed a single round-shaped hepatic infarction nodule in the right liver lobe, which was identified by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and histological examination. We suggest that hepatic infarction should be taken into consideration in clinical diagnosis when the imaging data show an atypical lesion that features a short blood supply in the liver.
