A patient with hepatocellular carcinoma exhibiting a concentric structure of different histologic grades was examined with chondroitin sulfate iron colloid (CSIC)‐enhanced MR imaging. After CSIC injection, the advanced component was enhanced in comparison with the surrounding liver, and the well‐differentiated component was not enhanced. CSIC‐enhanced MR imaging was helpful in evaluating histologic grade on the basis of reticuloendothelial function.
