Abstract

Thank you for the opportunity to review this fascinating case.Solitary hepatic plasmacytomas are exceptionally rare tumors, with only a small number described in the literature. 1 This case is an outstanding example demonstrating this rare entity on multiphasic computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging.The imaging features are variable, and the tumor often resembles a metastasis or a primary hepatic neoplasm.2,3In this case, the mass demonstrates hypervascularity with progressive washout and an area of restricted diffusion that could easily be mistaken for other, more common neoplasms.Pathologic confirmation is required in almost every case.However, as the authors state, the diagnosis should be considered as a remote possibility in liver masses with atypical presentations.
