68 year old with several months of worsening fatigue and 20 pound weight loss. Physical exam notable for a firm, nodular liver.
CT [top images]: Large round, heterogeneous mass, this time in the right hepatic lobe. See here for a left hepatic cholangio. This was initially thought to be a large hemangioma.
