Abstract
Preoperative diagnosis of the organ of origin in cases of exophytic lesions of liver is difficult and a challenge for the radiologist and clinicians. It needs careful examination and interpretation of radiological findings for correct diagnosis. We present our experience with exophytic liver lesions in four patients diagnosed with hepatocellular adenoma, hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), cavernous hemangioma, and hydatid cyst, and highlighted these issues.
