A Calcified Liver Mass

Abstract

A Caucasian woman in her mid-30s presented to the hospital emergency department with a 3-week history of pain in the right hypochondrium and ribs, just below her breast implant. The pain started 3 weeks prior, and she complained of slowly progressive tiredness. She had no history of fever, cough, weight changes, or any other complaints. Her vital signs were normal and an abdominal computed tomography scan was performed without contrast. This examination showed an isolated calcified mass in liver segment VIII, measuring 68 × 55 × 50 mm, with irregular margins and nonspecific characteristics (Figure 1). There were no other findings. The patient received breakthrough analgesics and was discharged with a referral to a medical oncologist.
