Abstract:
The differential diagnosis of focal changes in the liver remains an urgent task for the radiologist. Focal nod-ular hyperplasia (FNH), being the second most common benign formation of hepatocellular origin, is formed in cancer patients as a result of vascular disorders during chemotherapy, in particular with the development of sinusoidal obstruction. As a result, the resulting FNH node can simulate metastasis in a cancer patient, especially in cases where the primary tumor has a hypervascular structure. However, radiation semiotics based on computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging data allows, in most cases, to confidently differentiate the nature of the focal formation and avoid false-positive diagnostic results.
