Abstract

Eosinophilic infiltration in the liver is not a rare disease and it is usually presented as multiple, small, ill defined, oval or round, low attenuated lesions on portal phase of computed tomography. We reported case of hepatic eosinophilic infiltration in the liver, as an unusual manifestation of segmental involvement.

간 내 호산구 침윤은 드문 질환이 아니며 문맥기의 컴퓨터 단층촬영에서 대게 작고, 다수며, 형태가 명백하지 않으며 타원형 혹은 둥근 형태의 낮은 감쇠 병변으로 발현된다. 저자들은 간 내 호산구 침윤의 비특이적 소견의 간 분절침윤 형태의 소견을 보고하고자 한다.
