Small-vessel hepatic tumor is a new tumor entity of vascular origin, described in 2016 by Gill et al, in a series of 17 patients. This rare lesion is difficult to diagnose on imaging because it shares a common radiological semiology with several other differential diagnoses ranging from benign hepatic angioma to more aggressive lesions such as angiosarcoma.
The aim of our study is to enable the imaging diagnosis of a new entity: small vessel hepatic tumor in order to improve diagnostic management.
