Calcification in the liver is uncommon but not rare in clinical practice, and may be caused by many pathological conditions. We report a patient with hepatic mass on abdominal sonogram and CT scan. The mass was shown as a hypoechoic lesion on abdominal sonogram and as a well-marginated hypodense mass on pre- and postcontrast CT. Inflammatory granuloma was diagnosed by pathological examination following percutaneous needle biopsy. A follow-up precontrast CT scan was performed 22 months after the initial examination, and the hepatic granuloma could be the cause of hepatic parenchymal calcification.
肝脏钙化在临床实践中并不常见但也并非罕见，可能由多种病理状况引起。我们报告一例腹部超声和CT扫描显示肝脏有肿块的患者。该肿块在腹部超声上表现为低回声病变，在增强CT扫描前后均表现为边界清晰的低密度肿块。经皮穿刺活检后的病理检查诊断为炎性肉芽肿。在初次检查22个月后进行了随访平扫CT扫描，肝脏肉芽肿可能是肝实质钙化的原因。
