This brief case presentation addresses an imaging phenomenon sometimes seen during chemoembolization, referred to the literature as vascular lakes or vascular lakes phenomenon. Other papers have discussed the clinical significance of this imaging pattern. We present a case of vascular lakes seen at the time of chemoembolization, with associated histologic findings after liver explantation. To the authors' knowledge, this case represents the first histological correlative analysis of this imaging pattern.
