Abstract
The patient is a previously healthy 28-year-old woman with incidentally detected focal liver lesion. On CT, the tumor showed brisk arterial enhancement and persistent hyperenhancement on portal and delayed phases. Histological study showed spindle cells without atypia and immunohistochemical study was consistent with leiomyoma.
