Abstract

Hereditary haemorrhagic telangiectasia (HHT), also referred to as Osler-Weber-Rendu syndrome, is a rare autosomal dominant disorder characterised by abnormal vasculogenesis affecting the skin, mucosal surfaces, and visceral organs. Radiological imaging — particularly ultrasound, triple-phase contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CECT), and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) — serves as a crucial tool for the evaluation of hepatic involvement in these patients. This case report discusses a 74-year-old male who presented to the outpatient department with abdominal pain. The report provides an overview of the characteristic imaging findings of hepatic HHT and discusses the relevant clinical symptomatology and therapeutic strategies.
