Solitary fibrous tumour of the liver: a rare imaging diagnosis using MRI and diffusion-weighted imaging

Br J Radiol. 2008 Dec;81(972):e282-6. doi: 10.1259/bjr/98393711.

Abstract

Solitary fibrous tumour of the liver is an extremely rare neoplasm, the reported imaging features of which are largely non-specific. We present a case in which dynamic contrast-enhanced CT, MRI and diffusion-weighted MRI findings suggested a diagnosis of solitary fibrous tumour of the liver that was subsequently confirmed by immunohistochemical evaluation.
