Figures

Images in a 54-year-old female patient with cirrhosis. (A) Color Doppler US, (B) axial postcontrast late arterial phase CT, and (C, D) MR images (C, T1-weighted fat-saturated; D, arterial phase subtraction) show a nodule-in-nodule appearance in segment V of the liver. Dysplastic outer nodule (arrows) and eccentric inner nodule representing carcinoma (arrowhead) can be seen.
