چکیده
Focal nodular hyperplasia (FNH) of the liver is a benign disorder that usually occurs in women during their reproductive years. Multiple FNH is very rare. A case of multiple FNH of the liver occurring in a 34-year-old woman is described. FNH diagnosis was confirmed by means of US, CT, MR, scintigraphy and hepatic biopsy. There was no further change in either size or appearance of liver masses in the ensuing 6 years of follow-up.
