Abstract:
Magnetic resonance demonstrated siderotic regenerating nodules in a patient with hepatocellular carcinoma with accompanying liver cirrhosis. The siderosis disappeared when iron deficiency anemia developed in association with biliary hemorrhage. Magnetic resonance was sensitive enough to follow changes in the siderosis. The mechanism of iron deposition in regenerating nodules that accompanied liver cirrhosis did not seem to be related to the severity of the liver damage.
