ABSTRACT
Although multiphasic CT is an efficient technique for determination of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), occasionally, diagnosis of HCC using multiphasic CT can be difficult. Herein we present a case of HCC that was indicative of a typical abscess on CT imaging and compared the image findings with the gross specimen. The patient's body temperature and laboratory results indicated that inflammation were in the normal range. This case emphasizes that not only imaging findings but also clinical presentation should be considered to achieve a correct diagnosis in clinical practice.
