Sumario:Benign focal liver lesions are among the most frequent findings on ultrasound. Liver hemangiomas are often easily recognizable on ultrasound examination and are characterized by a clear benign prognosis. In some cases, hemangiomas display an atypical appearance both on B-mode and on contrast-enhanced ultrasound, thus raising concerns for differential diagnosis both with adenomas and with lesions of malignant nature. We report here the case of a patient who presented with a liver lesion with all signs suggestive for hemangioma on B-mode, but it showed atypical features on contrast-enhanced ultrasound examination and final diagnosis of liver adenoma.
