PURPOSE: To present unique CT imaging findings of the liver in Wilson's disease. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Thirteen consecutive subjects with clinically and/or pathologically proven Wilson's disease underwent abdominal Computer Tomography examination. RESULTS: Hyperdense nodules and a honeycomb appearance were observed on unenhanced CT in 92.31 and 58.33% of our patients, respectively. CONCLUSION: Wilson's disease involving the liver has several unique CT findings in comparison to other types of cirrhosis. These specific features include hyperdense nodules and a honeycomb pattern not only in portal and parenchymal phases, but also in the pre-contrast scan. |
