Focal nodular hyperplasia is a benign liver tumour that is rare in children. We report the second case of a child with sickle cell disease presenting with symptomatic focal nodular hyperplasia. The possible pathogenesis of focal nodular hyperplasia and the association with sickle cell disease are discussed.

متن کاملCT-Value (△HU and CT-Value ratioin) differential diagnosis of small hepatocellular carcinoma from focal nodular hyperplasia
Background: The objective was to explore the value of the CT value difference (△HU) and CT value ratio (CVR) between the hepatic arterial (AP), portal (PP), and delayed phases (DP) to differentiate the small Hepatocellular Carcinoma (SHCC, ≤ 3 cm) from the small Focal nodular hyperplasia (SFNH, ≤ 3 cm). Materials and Methods: All the lesions were confirmed by clinically and/or pathologically an...
متن کاملMetastatic renal cell carcinoma within a hepatic focal nodular hyperplasia: a case report and review of the literature.
A patient with microscopic metastatic renal cell carcinoma within liver focal nodular hyperplasia (FNH) is reported here. The initial CT scan was classic for liver FNH yet the following liver resection showed a microscopic metastatic renal cell carcinoma (0.48 cm) within the liver nodule. FNH in a patient with existing primary tumor probably warrants further investigation as the coexistence of ...
متن کاملBenign liver lesions in female patients.
Liver cell adenoma and focal nodular hyperplasia are benign conditions, often encountered in young and middle aged female patients. They can present acutely, but more often are diagnosed incidentally during investigation of abnormal liver function tests or vague abdominal pain.

متن کاملNonclassical focal nodular hyperplasia of the liver in a chronic alcoholic: a diagnostic dilemma on FNAC.
In a 49 year old male, a chronic alcoholic with hepatomegaly, a subcapsular nodular lesion was detected in the right lobe of the liver. On fine needle aspiration cytology, hepatocellular carcinoma was considered. Excision of the lesion showed features of nonclassical focal nodular hyperplasia with large cell dysplasia that caused the diagnostic dilemma on cytology.
