SUMMARY

Benign hepatic lesions may mimic
malignancy or vice-versa
Differentiating features can be subtle
Important to recognize atypical features,
particularly in relation to apparently benign
lesions.
Hepatobiliary anatomical variance is
relatively common
Pay attention to biliary and vascular
variance
