Abstract
OBJECTIVE. This article describes, illustrates, and correlates imaging and pathologic features of primary vascular mesenchymal neoplasms of the liver, which arise from the vascular endothelium and perivascular epithelioid cells. CONCLUSION. Familiarity with the spectrum of benign, malignant-potential and malignant vascular neoplasms, and nonneoplastic mimickers allows consideration in the differential diagnosis of enhancing hepatic masses. Understanding relevant pathologic features facilitates recognition of key imaging features, specifically dynamic contrast enhancement patterns on CT and MRI, which provide a useful classification system.Keywords
