Abstract :
A case of abdominal mass was studied by dynamic computed tomography (CT), magnetic
resonance imaging (MRI) and hepatic angiography. The results of radiological examinations
made the diagnosis even more confusing. The patient underwent laparotomy under a preoperative
diagnosis of hepatic tumor. The tumor was finally diagnosed as a benign retroperitoneal
neurilemmoma by histological examination. This case indicated that careful examination
is necessary to determine whether it arises from the liver itself or from neighboring tissues.
Radiological examinations are not reliable sometimes.
