Summary
Nuclear medicine imaging effectively diagnosed focal nodular hyperplasia (FNH) in a young woman with liver masses. Scintigraphy revealed characteristic findings, aiding noninvasive diagnosis and guiding treatment decisions for this benign liver tumor.
Area of Science:
- Hepatobiliary Medicine
- Diagnostic Nuclear Medicine
- Surgical Pathology
Background:
- Incidental hepatic masses often lack specific clinical or radiological features.
- Accurate noninvasive diagnosis of liver lesions is crucial for appropriate patient management.
- Focal nodular hyperplasia (FNH) is a common benign liver tumor requiring accurate differentiation from other hepatic masses.
