Diagnostic Ultrasound - Abdomen and Pelvis

Echogenic Liver Mass
Differential Diagnoses: Liver
(Left) Transverse ultrasound of
the right lobe of the liver
shows a typical hemangioma
st, which is homogeneously
echogenic with well-defined
margins. (Right) Transverse
ultrasound in a patient with
mucinous colon cancer
demonstrates multiple large,
hyperechoic metastases ſt in
the liver, containing diffuse
echogenic foci related to
subtle calcifications that
exhibit posterior acoustic
shadowing . Masses distort
and compress the right portal
vein st.
Hepatic Cavernous Hemangioma
Hepatic Metastases
(Left) Transverse abdominal
grayscale ultrasound in a
patient with carcinoid tumor
shows a round,
homogeneously hyperechoic
metastasis in the right lobe of
liver ſt. (Right) Oblique
abdominal ultrasound in a
patient with melanoma shows
a large, heterogeneously
hyperechoic metastasis ſt in
the liver abutting the hepatic
capsule. Thin, hypoechoic
peritumoral halo is present st,
a finding often seen with
hepatic metastases.
Hepatic Metastases
Hepatic Metastases
(Left) Oblique abdominal
grayscale ultrasound in a
patient with liposarcoma
shows a round,
homogeneously hyperechoic
metastasis along the margin
of right lobe of liver ſt.
(Right) Longitudinal
abdominal ultrasound in a
patient with bladder cancer
shows multiple ill-defined,
hyperechoic metastasis in the
liver ſt.
