ABSTRACT Hepatic parenchyma may hypertrophy following asymmetrical injury. The histologic characteristics of hypertrophic hepatic parenchyma are more similar to normal hepatic parenchyma than is the more severely damaged liver. We present four cases where large hypertrophic masses resembled neoplasm on other imaging modalities or at surgery, but had MRI signal characteristics similar to those of normal liver.
