Abstract

Abstract With the increase in imaging methods, incidence of incidental masses has been increased. Focal nodular hyperplasia is the most common benign liver mass after hepatic adenomas and is often diagnosed with typical images in contrast enhanced sectional imaging methods. In atypical imaging, liver biopsy may be required for a definitive diagnosis. We present an atypical case that we diagnosed as focal nodular hyperplasia with clinical decision, although it does not show any typical radiologic and pathologic f indings.
