Focal nodular hyperplasia (FNH) is a hepatic disease first described in 1958. The existence of an accessible and minimally invasive imagistic investigation to establish the diagnosis in a large number of cases would be desirable, especially because once diagnosed, the disease needs no treatment. We present the case of a young woman with long term use of oral contraceptives in which the diagnosis of FNH was established at a routine ultrasound. Evolution of disease during the pregnancy and the atypical imagistic aspect of liver lesions raised many problems of differential diagnosis.
局灶性结节性增生(FNH)是一种于1958年首次被描述的肝脏疾病。对于大量病例而言,存在一种可及且微创的影像学检查方法来确立诊断是很有必要的,尤其是因为一旦确诊,该疾病无需治疗。我们报告了一例长期服用口服避孕药的年轻女性病例,其FNH诊断是在常规超声检查时确立的。孕期疾病的进展以及肝脏病变的非典型影像学表现引发了诸多鉴别诊断问题。
