Background: The purpose of this study was to determine the prevalence of hepatic pseudolesions seen around the falciform ligament on computed tomography (CT) of the abdomen obtained with intravenous administration of contrast material.
Methods: We first retrospectively reviewed the CT scans of six patients in whom hepatic pseudolesions were seen around the falciform ligament. The abdominal CT scans of 587 patients were then prospectively analyzed for the presence of hepatic pseudolesions around the falciform ligament to determine the prevalence of this finding on CT examinations.
