A contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) scan was performed, which revealed marked peripheral hypoattenuation with central sparing consistent with massive hepatic infarction (Figure 1).
(A) The patient's explanted liver with extensive necrosis (single arrow) and associated hemorrhage, including a subcapsular hematoma (double arrow). (B) A cross-section of the explanted liver with evidence of diffuse necrosis and hemorrhage in the periphery and preserved central parenchyma.

The explanted liver revealed extensive necrosis and associated hemorrhage, including a subcapsular hematoma (Figure 2). The gross cross-section of the explanted liver closely mirrored the CT scan findings, with evidence of diffuse necrosis and hemorrhage in the periphery and preserved central parenchyma (Figure 2).

Furthermore, histological assessment of the liver parenchyma revealed massive hepatocellular necrosis and hemorrhage (Figure 3).
