Figure: benign, well-limited hepatocellular tumor with major haemorrhagic foci and telangiectasia on histology. Beside Focal Nodular Hyperplasia and hepatocellular adenomas, the most frequent benign hepatocellular lesion in the liver, a variant, initially called «telangiectatic focal nodular hyperplasia» now claimed as “telangiectatic adenoma” has been described recently. Initially observed in ...

Objective: To determine if the hepatobiliary phase of gadoxetate disodium-enhanced hepatic MRI increases the sensitivity in differentiating focal nodular hyperplasia from hepatocellular adenomas. Design: Prospective analysis. Methods: This study was comprised of 52 patients (2 men, 50 women) with suspicion of hepatocellular adenomas or with focal nodular hyperplasia on a previous CT or conventi...

Focal nodular hyperplasia is the second most common benign hepatic tumor. Unlike adenoma as well as the malignant neoplasms, focal nodular hyperplasia can often be managed successfully without surgery. Use of liver-specific contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging allows clinicians to confirm the diagnosis noninvasively in some patients, allowing select patients to avoid surgery. We report ...

INTRODUCTION Computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging are able to demonstrate and to diagnose hepatic focal nodular hyperplasia when a typical pattern of a well-circumscribed lesion with a central scar is present.Our aim is to propose the split-bolus multidetector-row computed tomography technique as an alternative to the conventional triphasic technique in the detection and character...

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

Focal nodular hyperplasia of the liver in a 3 year old child has been successfully treated by ligation of the hepatic artery branches supplying the lesion. The prominence of the abnormal vasculature in the lesion and its possible aetiological involvement is stressed. Because of the risks of partial hepatectomy, hepatic artery ligation is suggested as the treatment of choice for focal nodular hy...

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...

A 25 year old healthy female presented with a two month history of nausea, epigastric pain that worsened after eating and diarrhea. Complete blood count and biochemistry panel results were unremarkable and liver serology was negative. Abdominal ultrasonography (US) showed a solid lesion in the right upper quadrant, suspicious for a gastric mass. Liver protocol multiphase computed tomography (CT...
