The reports of focal nodular hyperplasia in children have recently increased in number, with many cases associated to drug intake, particularly to chemotherapy. We here describe, to our knowledge, the first case of focal nodular hyp...
متن کاملTelangiectatic adenoma – computed tomography and magnetic resonance findings: a case report and review of the literature
Telangiectatic adenoma is a new classification of a hepatic lesion. It was previously named telangiectatic focal nodular hyperplasia but it is in fact true adenoma with telangiectatic features. We report here a case of telangiectatic adenoma in a 72-year-old woman.

متن کاملExpression of fibrillin-1 in focal nodular hyperplasia of the liver: a role in microcirculation adaptability
INTRODUCTION: It has been suggested that the elastic network plays an important role in the tissue response to mechanical stress. The components of the elastic network have been poorly studied in liver diseases. Therefore, in this work, the expression and distribution of fibrillin-1 and elastin were studied in hepatic focal nodular hyperplasia and compared with surrounding liver and hepatocellu...

Liver cell adenoma and focal nodular hyperplasia are benign conditions, often encountered in young and middle aged female patients.

We present four cases, which contrast the diagnosis and management of focal nodular hyperplasia (FNH) and liver cell a...

Hepatocellular lesions can be neoplastic or non-neoplastic. The common non-neoplasms include regenerative hyperplasia, focal accumulation of fat, focal nodular hyperplasia (FNH), macroregenerative nodules (MRN), and nodular regenerative hyperplasia (NRH). The neoplasms include hepatic adenomas, hepatocellular carcinomas (HCC) and their variants. Accurate diagnosis of these lesions can be someti...
