Abstract
- Hepatic masses include a variety of benign and malignant lesions originating in the liver, and ultrasonography is one of the most basic and essential imaging tools for evaluating these lesions. This review comprehensively summarizes the ultrasonographic findings of hepatic masses by lesion type and examines the interpretation and clinical significance of each. In regions like Korea, where chronic liver disease is highly prevalent, the role of ultrasonography is particularly important. Accurate diagnosis and formulation of treatment strategies require skilled interpretation of ultrasound images.
