Figure 1 Computed tomography (CT) of the liver.
CT scan is the initial imaging study. A: CT of the liver after contrast enhancement showing numerous liver metastases; B: CT scan 4 mo after initial study showing marked diminution of the metastases and marked fatty infiltration of the liver; C: The liver 2 mo after B showing no evidence of metastasis but findings which simulate cirrhosis with ascites, and irregular contours with retraction. This constellation of CT findings is consistent with a diagnosis of peudocirrhosis; D: CT scan 2 mo after C showing a nearly normal liver and only a trace of ascites present in the pelvis (image not shown).
