Subcapsular liver hematoma on MRI

These MRIs are from a patient with HELLP syndrome and a subcapsular liver hematoma.

(A) The T2-weighted image shows a 9 mm hyperintense focus (arrow) that could represent a small laceration or a hepatic cyst.

(B) The T1-weighted image shows an adjacent subcapsular hematoma (arrowhead) with both hyperintense and hypointense components reflecting a complex solid thrombus. The subcapsular hematoma was estimated as occupying less than 10% of the liver surface.
