Figure 14 Hemorrhagic hepatocellular carcinoma in 70-year old man with cirrhosis presenting with acute abdominal pain. A: Coronal T2-weighted image shows a nodular tumor (arrows) in the subcapsular location in segment V, and subhepatic hematoma (asterix); B: Axial T1-weighted FS image shows hypointense tumor (arrows) and hyperintense content of the hematoma (asterix); C and D: Arterial phase displays only subtle hypervascularity in the part of the tumor (arrows) depicted on this section (C) with washout in portal venous phase (D), and hematoma (asterix) located anteriorly.
