Hepatic involvement in hypereosinophilic syndrome: value of portal venous phase imaging

Abdom Imaging. 1998 Mar-Apr;23(2):154-7. doi: 10.1007/s002619900310.

Abstract

US, portal venous phase CT, and MRI-CSE (MRI with conventional spin-echo sequence) findings in three cases of hepatic involvement in hypereosinophilic syndrome are presented. These showed varied imaging findings, but portal venous phase CT showed multiple, poorly marginated, and hypodense hepatic lesions in all three cases. The result suggested that portal venous phase CT is the optimal method for depicting hepatic involvement.
