AI Article Synopsis

  • The pseudoglandular type of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) shows high signal intensity on delayed imaging with gadoxetic acid-enhanced MRI, unlike the microtrabecular type.
  • A case is presented where HCC displayed mixed hypo- and hyper-intensity during the hepatobiliary phase of this imaging technique.
  • The report emphasizes the imaging characteristics and pathological features of the observed HCC case.

Article Abstract

In gadoxetic acid–enhanced liver magnetic resonance imaging(MRI), it is known that the pseudoglandular type of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) may demonstrate high signal intensity on 20-minutes delayed imaging unlike the microtrabecular counterpart. Herein we report a case of HCC which consisted of mixed components of hypo- and hyper-intensity in the hepatobiliary phase of gadoxetic acid-enhanced MRI, focusing on its imaging findings and pathologic features.
