| Abstrakt: | Chemotherapy is a potential cause of focal and diffuse hepatobiliary lesions. Many of these lesions may be demonstrated on imaging, especially computed tomography and MRI. Some of these lesions, especially those of steatosis and sinusoidal obstruction syndrome, are associated with a worse prognosis and risk of hepatic failure in the context of surgical management. Notably, some chemotherapy-induced hepatic alterations, such as sinusoidal obstruction syndrome, pseudocirrhosis and focal hepatopathies, may be mistakenly interpreted as signs of cancer progression, misguiding the therapeutic planning for patients receiving chemotherapy.
