What Is a Hypoechoic Liver Mass? A hypoechoic liver mass is an abnormality in the liver tissue that appears darker on ultrasound images compared to the surrounding healthy liver tissue. These masses can vary in size and may be benign (non-cancerous) or malignant (cancerous).
Hypoechoic masses in the liver are commonly discovered during scans of the abdomen. They typically form as a single spot in the liver, but some people may have more than one. More than 20...

It’s “hypoechoic” if there’s little echo, making the picture darker. The “echotexture” of your liver can suggest scarring, swelling, fat storage or buildup of other metabolic products. Lesions. Lesions are spots on your liver ultrasound that represent wounds or growths.
Occasionally, when very large, simple cysts can cause abdominal symptoms and can be treated surgically. 4 Hydatid cysts have thicker, frequently calcified walls with hypoechoic contents. On cross- sectional imaging, daughter cysts can be observed in the periphery. Cystadenomas are cystic structures that have the potential for malignancy.
Significance of ultrasound results of liver with hypoechoic mass. In the liver ultrasound results will often describe whether the liver has a hypoechoic mass or not. If the results describe a hypoechoic mass or nodule in the liver, it can be suspected that a tumor is in the liver.
On CT, pyogenic liver abscesses appear as loculated, single or multiple lesions with heterogeneous and variable thickness rim enhancement, whereas amoebic liver abscesses tend to be single with a thin enhancing rim and surrounding hypodensity referred to as the halo sign 77, 78. Mature abscesses usually do not show internal enhancement.
Ultrasonography (US) is often the first-line diagnostic modality used to evaluate hepatobiliary signs and symptoms, such as right upper quadrant (RUQ) pain, jaundice, and abnormal LFTs. This review summarizes the US appearance of conditions causing abnormal LFTs to guide radiologists and provide a diagnostic approach based on the US findings.
Focal liver lesions in an asymptomatic and healthy population: Fortuitously discovered liver tumors in asymptomatic and healthy persons without any previous history of malignant disease tend in most cases to be benign [13, 16].
