Focal nodular hyperplasia of the liver with pseudo-angiomatous appearance of the central area: MRI findings and physiopathological insights.

چکیده
We report an unusual case of focal nodular hyperplasia (FNH) with angioma-like vascularity in the central scar illustrated on MRI and proven by histopathology. The vascular theory of common causative factors in FNH and haemangioma is discussed.

CT-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 کاملFocal nodular hyperplasia vs. hemangioma: computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging findings.
Focal nodular hyperplasia (FNH) and hemangioma are benign and generally asymptomatic hepatic tumors. With distinctive imaging findings on dynamic computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), differentiation of these benign hepatic tumors from metastases can be made. We described imaging findings of these hepatic lesions in a 57-year-old man who presented with rectal adenocarci...

In this case report, a female child of 10 years old presented with pain epigastrium and with sonographic features of acute cholecystitis. Later on, the focal mass in the liver was diagnosed by Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) examination and proved by the biopsy as focal nodular hyperplasia (FNH), a benign focal response of the liver and a hepatic mass. Although focal nodular hyperplasia is rar...
متن کاملEfficacy comparison of multi-phase CT and hepatotropic contrast-enhanced MRI in the differential diagnosis of focal nodular hyperplasia: a prospective cohort study
BACKGROUND Different clinical behaviour influences the importance of differentiating focal nodular hyperplasia (FNH) from other focal liver lesions (FLLs). The aim of this study was to compare the efficacy of contrast-enhanced CT and MRI in the diagnosis of FNH. METHODS 157 patients with equivocal FLLs detected in ultrasonography subsequently underwent multi-phase CT and MRI with the use of h...
متن کاملFocal nodular hyperplasia that mimicked a liver metastasis from a soft tissue sarcoma: a case report
BACKGROUND Imaging modalities (computed tomography (CT), ultrasonography, and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)) have only limited ability to distinguish liver focal nodular hyperplasia (FNH) from metastatic liver tumors. Here, we report a patient who underwent surgery for benign FNH that mimicked a liver metastasis from soft tissue sarcoma (STS). CASE PRESENTATION A 23-year-old man with a his...
