A 51 year old female. 1) Cirrhotic appearing liver with focal atrophy or scar of the right hepatic lobe, consistent with biliary cirrhosis. Low attenuation adjacent to the internal/external biliary drainage catheter may represent a bile lake, a malignant mass, or post- traumatic hematoma. 2) Flow is not visualized in the right portal vein. 3) Aortocaval, pericardiophrenic, peripancreatic, and gastrohepatic ligament adenopathy are most consistent with malignancy; although reactive adenopathy can occur in these areas, no active infection is thought present in this patient.
