Abstract

Hepatic artery aneurysm (HAA), although rare, represents a serious diagnostic and therapeutic challenge due to high rupture rate and associated mortality. Early detection and accurate diagnosis are essential for successful management. Here, we present an extremely rare case of multi-focal intrahepatic HAA with confined intrahepatic rupture and hypermetabolic activity at PET imaging, simulating metastasis of melanoma. A retrospective review found only two other HAA at our institution between 2000 and 2015, both of which involved the extrahepatic artery. This report highlights the importance of clinical, radiological, and pathological correlation in the management of this rare condition.
