Clinical and imaging data of five patients with surgically and pathologically confirmed PCCCL were retrospectively collected and analysed. All patients underwent non-contrast and dynamic contrast-enhanced CT and MRI scans. On non-contrast CT, all five lesions appeared hypodense, with the lowest CT attenuation values measured in the lesions within the negative range, suggestive of intralesional fat components. On MRI, T1-weighted imaging showed hypointensity in three cases, isointensity in one case, and mild hyperintensity in one case. T2-weighted fat-suppressed sequences revealed heterogeneous\u2014both high and low\u2014signals in four cases and mild hypointensity in one case. Dual-echo sequences demonstrated signal drop on opposed-phase images in all five cases. Diffusion-weighted imaging showed predominantly hypointense signals in one case and heterogeneous hyperintensity (predominantly hyperintense) in four cases. The apparent diffusion coefficient values were preserved in two cases but reduced in three cases. Dynamic contrast-enhanced imaging showed arterial phase enhancement in all five lesions, with washout to hypodense or hypointense patterns in the portal venous and delayed phases. Nodular enhancement was observed in one lesion, prominent intratumoral vessels in one case, and delayed capsular enhancement in two cases. Neither CT nor MRI revealed portal vein tumour thrombus, intrahepatic metastases, lymphadenopathy in the hepatic hilum or retroperitoneum, or ascites. PCCCL is a rare subtype of hepatocellular carcinoma. Identifying its distinct imaging findings, such as peripheral solitary lesions, intratumoral fat, and a high incidence of pseudocapsule formation, may enhance diagnostic accuracy.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.12968\/hmed.2025.0642","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,9,24]],"date-time":"2025-09-24T07:37:11Z","timestamp":1758699431000},"page":"1-14","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Imaging Features of Primary Clear Cell Carcinoma of the Liver: A Case Series and Literature Review"],"prefix":"10.31083","volume":"86","author":[{"given":"Lifeng","family":"Xu","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Radiology, Tong Xiang First People\u2019s Hospital, Tongxiang, Zhejiang, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jingru","family":"Dai","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Radiology, The Second Affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang Chinese Medical University, Hangzhou, Zhejiang, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Guifen","family":"Wei","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Hepatobiliary Surgery, Tong Xiang First People\u2019s Hospital, Tongxiang, Zhejiang, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Bifeng","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Radiology, The Affiliated People\u2019s Hospital of Ningbo University, Ningbo, Zhejiang, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ping","family":"Zhu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Radiology, The Second Affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang Chinese Medical University, Hangzhou, Zhejiang, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"16242","reference":[{"key":"B1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s00330-016-4634-6"},{"key":"B2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s00330-023-09669-y"},{"key":"B3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jhepr.2021.100380"},{"key":"B4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1186\/s40792-018-0500-x"},{"key":"B5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3389\/fmed.2024.1408967"},{"key":"B6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2174\/1573405620666230522144730"},{"key":"B7","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/MD.0000000000011142"},{"key":"B8","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.17998\/jlc.20.1.17"},{"key":"B9","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.radcr.2019.08.021"},{"key":"B10","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s12029-016-9831-7"},{"key":"B11","first-page":"24","volume":"40","author":"Liu B","year":"2025","journal-title":"Radiologic Practice"},{"key":"B12","first-page":"897","volume":"29","author":"Liu B","year":"2021","journal-title":"Chinese Journal of Medical Imaging"},{"key":"B13","first-page":"21","volume":"12","author":"Liu B","year":"2021","journal-title":"Chinese Journal of Magnetic Resonance Imaging"},{"key":"B14","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1186\/s12880-020-00465-4"},{"key":"B15","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2214\/AJR.21.26982"},{"key":"B16","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/his.13975"},{"key":"B17","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.25259\/JCIS_111_2019"},{"key":"B18","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s00261-024-04263-2"},{"key":"B19","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.5152\/dir.2015.15286"},{"key":"B20","first-page":"175","volume":"6","author":"Vande Lune P","year":"2018","journal-title":"Journal of Clinical and Translational Hepatology"},{"key":"B21","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s00261-014-0104-2"},{"key":"B22","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.21037\/tcr-21-9"},{"key":"B23","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/ajco.12494"},{"key":"B24","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3389\/fmed.2023.1322048"},{"key":"B25","first-page":"e919789","volume":"26","author":"Zhang Z","year":"2020","journal-title":"Medical Science Monitor"}],"container-title":["British Journal of Hospital Medicine"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"http:\/\/www.magonlinelibrary.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.12968\/hmed.2025.0642","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2026,2,6]],"date-time":"2026-02-06T10:00:04Z","timestamp":1770372004000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/www.imrpress.com\/journal\/BJHM\/86\/9\/10.12968\/hmed.2025.0642"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2025,9,25]]},"references-count":25,"journal-issue":{"issue":"9","published-print":{"date-parts":[[2025,9,25]]}},"alternative-id":["10.12968\/hmed.2025.0642"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.12968\/hmed.2025.0642","relation":{},"ISSN":["1750-8460","1759-7390"],"issn-type":[{"value":"1750-8460","type":"print"},{"value":"1759-7390","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2025,9,25]]}}}
