In immunohistochemically-proven hepatic inflammatory myofibroblastic tumors, MRI revealed layered patterns of contrast enhancement during dynamic imaging, consisting of outer hypovascular rind and inner hypervascular stroma and mimicking the imaging features of pyogenic organized abscess with deficient central necrosis in four lesions in two patients. For the outer hypovascular rind, T2-weighted images showed...
