Hepatic Mass: What are the common liver masses? Malignant liver tumors Metastatic tumors Hepatocellular carcinoma Cholangiocarcinoma; Benign focal liver lesions Cysts congenital parasitic - echinococcal; Cavernous hemangiomas Focal nodular hyperplasia Hepatic adenomas Abscesses; What are the useful imaging modalities to investigate liver masses?
