Abstract

Focal eosinophilic infiltration in the liver is often associated with various eosinophilrelated conditions. Focal eosinophilic infiltration in the liver is often identified incidentally by radiologic examinations ordered for other reasons, and is usually visualized radiographically as small, ill-defined, oval or round nodules. Focal eosinophilic infiltration in the liver may sometimes mimic hepatic metastases in those patients who present with a history of malignancy. Here, we present two cases of contrast enhanced ultrasonography findings of focal hepatic eosinophilic infiltration using Sonazoid (perfluorobutane; Daiichi-Sankyo, GE, Tokyo, Japan).

간 내 호산구 침윤은 종종 다양한 호산구 관련 질환과 연관이 있다. 간 내 호산구 침윤은 영상의학적 검사에서 우연히 발견되며 대개 작고 다수며, 형태가 명백하지 않으며 타원형 혹은 둥근 형태의 병변으로 발현된다. 때때로 간 내 호산구 침윤은 암 병력이 있는 환자의 경우 간 내 전이로 오인되기도 한다. 저자들은 초음파 조영제인 Sonazoid를 이용한 간 내 호산구 침윤의 조영초음파 소견을 보고하고자 한다.
