Conclusion

Magnetic resonance (MR) imaging findings of large liver masses depend on their histological and cytological features. Large and geographic hepatic lesions though usually challenging and often need histopathological evaluation for definitive diagnosis. Therefore, analysis of lesion signal intensity and enhancement patterns obtained with magnetic resonance imaging is essential for the differential diagnosis of large liver lesions.
