Abstract
Our purpose was to review a broad spectrum of mesenchymal liver tumors in adults and present their cross-sectional imaging characteristics including radiologic-pathologic correlation. Cross-sectional imaging findings of mesenchymal liver tumors in adults are varied and some may overlap with others or even with more common malignant epithelial tumors. However, in some cases, their appearances at cross-sectional imaging studies may reflect characteristic abnormalities that suggest a specific diagnosis. Therefore, familiarity with the radiologic findings of mesenchymal liver tumors and understanding their pathological background is important for increasing the accuracy of radiologic diagnosis.
