CT of a 57-year-old female patient, suffering from alcoholic liver cirrhosis. (A) Native phase without contrast. (B) Late arterial phase. (C) Portal venous phase. (D) Equilibrium phase. Atrophic liver with ascites is evident. Early nodular enhancement is depictable in the arterial phase (white arrow, B), there is no wash-out of this liver nodule, compatible with a regenerative or dysplastic nodule, HCC is less probable. Other regenerative nodules with the same enhancement pattern are shown (black arrow). Ascites on all slices is evident (asterisk).
