Abstract

TEIXEIRA, Marise Silva et al. Focal nodular hyperplasia of the liver: a case report and review of the literature. Radiol Bras [online]. 2007, vol.40, n.4, pp. 283-285. ISSN 0100-3984.  http://dx.doi.org/10.1590/S0100-39842007000400016.

In this case report we discuss a focal nodular hyperplasia diagnosed in a female, six-year old patient, as well as her follow-up from the diagnosis to the present time. Imaging techniques, particularly hepatosplenic scintigraphy and computed tomography, are essential for the diagnosis. Also, a literature review is presented.
