Liver infarction is a rare necrotic lesion due to the dual blood supply consisting of the hepatic artery and portal vein. The absence of specific clinical manifestations and imaging appearances usually leads to misdiagnosis and poor prognosis. Thus, the precise diagnosis of liver infarction always requires imaging studies, serum studies, and possible liver biopsy.
