Figure 1. Liver haemangioma in a 40-year-old woman examined in the supine position. Conventional US revealed a hypoechoic lesion in segment VII and a liver parenchyma with an increased echogenicity (A). One year later, after the patient lost 10 kg, the known hypoechoic lesion described in segment VII had a hyperechoic appearance, typical for haemangiomas. The adjacent liver parenchyma had a significantly decreased echogenicity compared with the previous examination (B).
