Abdominal US of the liver showing, in SVIII, a roundish, poorly demarcated lesion of 54.8 × 42.2 mm in size. It shows a dishomogeneous appearance as it mainly consists of a hypoechoic area, suggestive for colliquation, with some internal echoes. The differential diagnosis of a focal liver lesion like this is wide, including primitive or metastatic lesions, and clinical correlation is essential to guide the diagnostic process. Second-line methods such as contrast-enhanced ultrasonography (CEUS), computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance (MR) are imperative in these cases and help to correctly determine the nature of these lesions
