BackgroundSpontaneous infarction or hemorrhage of focal nodular hyperplasia (FNH) has rarely been reported in the literature.
Case outlineA 43-year-old woman presented with upper abdominal pain and anemia. CT scan showed an enormous perihepatic hematoma. Trisegmentectomy successfully dealt with the problem.
ConclusionAlthough conservative management of FNH is often adopted, this case illustrates that these lesions can undergo massive bleeding.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
