Confluent focal nodular hyperplasia mimicking liver cancer: Value of liver-specific contrast-enhanced MRI for diagnosis

Abstract: 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 a case of a patient who presented with the rare profile of multiple, confluent lesions that were diagnosed, using magn… Show more

“…La literatura reporta una prevalencia hasta del 8%; y el 70% de los pacientes presenta una sola lesión. 53 En la HNF existe una captación homogénea del medio de contraste en la fase arterial, que se conserva durante la fase portal y transicional. En la fase hepatobiliar son isointensas o hiperintensas respecto al parénquima hepático por la retención del contraste.…”
