Low power image of the liver biopsy showing dilated thin-walled blood vessels and bile duct-like structures within fibrous stroma.
Figure 3
Figure 3
High power image of the liver biopsy showing dilated thin-walled blood vessels and bile duct-like structures within fibrous stroma. Cores of fibrous tissue can be seen containing ducts with bland cyto-architectural morphology resembling bile ducts within expanded portal tracts.
Figure 4
Figure 4
Coronal T2-weighted MRI showing multiple high signal liver lesions. The signal remained high on long echo time (TE) weighted images. Septae and fluid levels were noted but no significant fat content was seen.
Figure 5
Figure 5
Axial T2-weighted MRI showing multiple high signal liver lesions.
Figure 6
Figure 6
Axial T1-weighted MRI post-contrast (arterial phase) showing enhancement of the lesions. During the dynamic enhancement series several of the lesions demonstrate centripetal enhancement, which increased on delayed phase imaging.
