Radiologically, embryonal sarcoma reveals a characteristic spectrum of both solid and cystic features. However, MRI is sometimes unable to reveal the solid components. Here, we describe a case in which intracystic hemorrhage revealed a solid mural nodule obscured with the cystic lesion. Knowledge of this feature is helpful when making a prospective diagnosis of this important, albeit rare, hepatic malignancy. J. Magn. Reson. Imaging 2010;31:1477–1480. © 2010 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.
