J Comput Assist Tomogr. 2001 Mar-Apr;25(2):231-3. doi: 10.1097/00004728-200103000-00012.

Abstract

We report a case of hepatic giant hemangioma, which showed hepatic capsular retraction on CT and MRI. Pathologic examination revealed fibrosis combined with hemangioma, especially in a subcapsular location, which was responsible for the capsular retraction.
