https://doi.org/10.24835/1607-0763-2017-5-94-98

Abstract

The purpose: the estimation of a computed tomography
(CT) signs of hepatic calcification hemangioma. 

Material and  methods. Retrospectively results of CT with bolus contrast  enhancement for examination hepatic calcified lesions of the 36  patients were analyzed. 

Results. As a basis for the retrospective  analysis, the semiotic signs of patients, in which the hemangioma calcification developed during the dynamic CT  monitoring, were used. As shown by the analysis, the center of  calcification in combination with the cloisonne structures leading the arterial vessel, the decrease in the area of the focal lesion in the portovenous phase due to the vascular structures along the periphery of the focus are the criteria of calcified  hemangioma. In 11 of 36 patients, calcified foci in the liver turned out to be hemangiomas.

Conclusion. More than 30% calcifications in the liver detected at CT can be calcification hemangioma.
