To determine the prevalence of clinically important masses among incidental hyper-enhancing liver observations on portal venous phase CT in patients without known malignancy or liver disease. Retrospective search of portal venous phase CTs to identify hyper-enhancing liver observations in patients without cancer or liver disease. Observations were assigned a morphology of homogeneous, hemangioma, or heterogeneous. The reference standard was pathology (n=2), liver protocol CT/MRI (n=40), follow-up portal venous phase CT for ≥ 2 years (n=81), or clinical follow-up for ≥ 5 years (n=107). There were no clinically important masses among 83 observations with homogeneous morphology or 110 with hemangioma morphology. There were 2 clinically important masses (1 HCC and 1 hepatic adenoma) among 37 (5.4%) heterogeneous morphology observations. Incidental hyper-enhancing liver observations on portal venous phase CT with homogeneous or typical hemangioma morphology in patients without known cancer or liver disease are highly likely benign.
