Abstract

Due to the recent advent of various imaging modalities such as ultrasonography, computed tomography andmagnetic resonance imaging, as well as knowledge of the characteristic imaging features of hepatic lesions,radiologic examination plays a major role in the differential diagnosis of focal hepatic lesions. However, various'nonspecific' or 'unusual' imaging features of focal hepatic lesions are occasionally encountered, and this makescorrect diagnosis difficult. In such a situation, the presence of peripheral eosinophilia helps narrow the differential diagnoses. The aim of this pictorial essay is to describe the imaging features of various diseaseentities which cause focal hepatic lesions and peripheral eosinophilia.
