A 40-year-old female presented with complaints of epigastric pain and early satiety. Clinical examination and biochemical workup was unremarkable. Ultrasound examination showed a hyper echoic lesion in right lobe of liver with well-defined margins. Computed tomography scan showed a 6.5cmx5.5cm mass in the right lobe of liver. Mass had low attenuation on non-contrast CT. On arterial phase images showed peripheral nodular enhancement which formed an incomplete rim around the mass. Delayed images obtained after 10 to 25 minutes demonstrated progressive centripetal enhancement. The lesion was heterogeneous with areas that were hypo, iso and hyper dense to the normal liver parenchyma. Diagnosis: Hepatic Hemangioma
