Mis- interpretation of pseudolesions may have severe impact on the choice of treatment, especially in patients suffer- ing from primary liver cancer or possible liver metas- tases. Recognition of these pseudolesions, therefore, is of high importance in daily radiological practice. Recogni- tion can be improved by understanding the pathohisto- logical origin of the parafissural pseudolesion. There are several hypotheses concerning the cause of the liver pseudolesions. The pseudolesions show a typical pattern in different phases of inflow of intravenous contrast material. In unenhanced or arterial phase im- ages the pseudolesion is not often identified [2]. In portal venous phase CT the parafissural pseudolesions have been described more often, in approximately 20% of cases [1–3]. This may be explained by the vascular hy- pothesis meaning that a ‘third inflow’ of blood from the
