Ultrasound images of the liver show a round hypoechoic nodule (arrow, calipers) in the right lobe with an echoic border. Background fatty liver is noted.
Hemangioma with Echoic Border
- Frequent atypical pattern at ultrasound
- Can have either thick echoic rind or thin echoic rim
- Internal echo is at least partially hypoechoic, which is assumed to represent previous hemorrhage, necrosis, scarring or myxomatous change
