Abstract
OBJECTIVE: This study describes the findings of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of focal eosinophilic infiltration of the liver.



METHODS: Contrast-enhanced MR images of 8 patients with focal hepatic eosinophilic infiltration were reviewed retrospectively. We evaluated the signal intensity of focal lesions in T1-weighted and T2-weighted images and the pattern of enhancement in a dynamic contrast study.



RESULTS: A total 22 focal hepatic lesions were observed; the lesions were isointense (55%) or hypointense (45%) on T1-weighted images and isointense (14%) or hyperintense (86%) on T2-weighted images. The arterial phase of the contrast study revealed 11 hyperintense lesions (50%). During the portal and delayed phases, 18 (82%) and 17 lesions (77%) were hyperintense, respectively.



CONCLUSION: The focal eosinophilic infiltrations showed homogeneous enhancement in the portal and delayed phases in the dynamic contrast MR study. These findings should help to distinguish focal eosinophilic infiltration, especially from metastasis in patients with malignancy.
