Overview

Description

Cystic, vascular, and hepatocellular benign liver lesions include simple and parasitic cysts and haemangiomas. Case discussion examines contrast behaviour, diffusion-related pitfalls, cirrhotic liver considerations, and practical challenges in structured interpretation.

Learning Objectives

Classify common benign cystic, vascular, and hepatocellular liver lesions.
Use CT and MRI signal and enhancement patterns to support lesion characterisation.
Recognise diffusion pitfalls and reporting challenges in benign and cirrhotic liver disease.
