Abstract Pseudolesions on contrast-enhanced computed tomography represent a diagnostic challenge for radiologists because they could be difficult to distinguish from true space-occupying lesions. This article aims to provide a detailed overview of these entities based on radiological criteria (hyperattenuation or hypoattenuation, localization, morphology), as well as a brief review of the hepatic vascular anatomy and pathophysiological process. Relevant examples from hospital case series are reported as helpful hints to assist radiologists in recognizing and correctly diagnosing these abnormalities.
