Segmental hepatic iron deposition due to peripheral portal vein tumor thrombus : MR features

We report a case of segmental hepatic iron deposition in the parenchyma peripheral to a tumor-thrombosed intrahepatic portal vein. On MR imaging, especially fast low-angle shot image, the liver parenchyma was demonstrated as a hypointense area with segmental and wedge-shaped configuration. Absence o...

Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	We report a case of segmental hepatic iron deposition in the parenchyma peripheral to a tumor-thrombosed intrahepatic portal vein. On MR imaging, especially fast low-angle shot image, the liver parenchyma was demonstrated as a hypointense area with segmental and wedge-shaped configuration. Absence of portal blood flow may cause such segmental hepatic iron deposition.
