Abstract

Liver Masses present a common clinical dilemma, particularly with the wide spread use of cross-sectional imaging in the Emergency Departments. The accurate and reliable determination of the nature of the liver mass is critical, not only to reassure individuals with benign lesions but also to ensure that malignant lesions are diagnosed correctly. In general, Liver Mass can be divided into two main categories: benign lesions and malignant lesions. Benign asses are usually Inflammatory masses including an abscess
which can be divided into amebic and pyogenic and truly tumor masses which can be divided into malignant or benign tumors.
