“…The nomenclature of the classifications is inconstant. Morphologically similar tumours have been called carcinoma (Wilbur, Wood and Willet, 1944;Fish and McGary, 1966); malignant adenoma (McRae, 1935); embryonic mixed tumour (Allison and Willis, 1956); embryonic tumour (Sheehan, 1930); mixed tumour (Milman and Grayzel, 1951), and adenoma (Shaw, 1923 ;Wilens, 1938). Macnab et al (1952) describe two groups of liver tumours; hepatoblastoma in infants and carcinoma in older children.…”

“…Throughout the first half of the twentieth century, benign tumors of the liver lacked a classification scheme, and focal nodular hyperplasia was referred to by many names. For instance, Shaw3 described, in 1923, an “adenoma” which resembled a focal area of cirrhosis in an otherwise normal liver. In 1904, Albrecht4 introduced the term “hamartoma” as a tumor‐like malformation containing an abnormal mixture of normal elements of the organ.…”

Focal nodular hyperplasia is an uncommon, benign lesion of the liver of minimal clinical significance. Its importance lies in differentiating it from clinically significant lesions such as liver cell adenoma and hepatocellular carcinoma. The purpose of this review is to provide a background on the pathogenesis of focal nodular hyperplasia, discuss current imaging modalities which provide the most specificity in diagnosis, and provide an update on the accepted management of these lesions. While debate still exists, most current authors believe that focal nodular hyperplasia represents a local response of the liver to injury. The source of that injury seems to be vascular malformations. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) provides the most specificity in diagnosis, although the characteristics are still being described. Classically, the lesions will be isointense on T2-weighted images with rapid homogenous contrast enhancement and delayed enhancing central stellate scar. Surgical resection is limited to symptomatic lesions or lesions with atypical imaging characteristics suggesting the possibility of a malignant diagnosis. Percutaneous biopsy can be helpful in those lesions where there is an overall high suspicion of focal nodular hyperplasia, but some of the clinical aspects or imaging characteristics are atypical for the diagnosis. The use of embolization as first line therapy for symptomatic lesions deserves further investigation.
