Focal nodular hyperplasia is a benign tumor of the liver (hepatic tumor), which is the second most prevalent tumor of the liver after hepatic hemangioma.[1] It is usually asymptomatic, rarely grows or bleeds, and has no malignant potential.[2] This tumour was once often resected because it was difficult to distinguish from hepatic adenoma, but with modern multiphase imaging it is usually now diagnosed by strict imaging criteria and not resected.
