Radiological findings of the liver tumor. (a) and (b) Computed tomography (CT) revealed a 20-mm liver tumor (arrow) of segment 8 with no enhancement in the early phase (a) and slight enhancement in the late phase (b). (c) and (d) Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) with contrast revealed a 20-mm liver tumor (arrow) of segment 8 with low signal intensity on T1-weighted images (c) and slightly high signal intensity on T2-weighted images (d).

CT showed a 20-mm liver tumor of segment 8 with no enhancement in the early phase and very slight enhancement in the late phase (Fig. 1a and b). T2-weighted images (Fig. 1c and d).
Histopathological findings of the resected liver tumor. (a) Macroscopic view of the resected tumor mass. A 20 x 15 x 14 mm3 liver tumor was observed. (b) and (c) The tumor exhibited sarcoidosis lesions, as evidenced by a conglomerate of epithelioid granulomas with giant cells (arrow) surrounded by a thin layer of lymphocytes. Hematoxylin and eosin staining, x100 and x200.
