Abstract
The US and CT manifestations of multiple small hepatic lesions of 15 patients during their remissions following chemotherapy for acute leukemia were reviewed. Liver biopsies established the diagnoses in 5 of the 15 patients. Despite their remissions, two cases had leukemic involvement. Others had microabscesses, 2 due to candida and 1 due to peptostreptococcus.
Ultrasonographically, the microabscesses and leukemic involvement in the liver consisted of multiple round hypoechoic and target-like masses. With CT, these appeared as multiple zones of diminished attenuation. Only distal acoustic enhancement with US could differentiate these disease processes.
