Gd-EOB-DTPA-enhanced MR imaging findings of hepatocellular adenoma: correlation with pathological findings

We report a case of a 28-year-old woman with hepatocellular adenoma and correlate findings of pathology and magnetic resonance (MR) imaging with gadolinium ethoxybenzyl diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid (Gd-EOB-DTPA) enhancement. In the hepatobiliary phase, the peripheral region of the tumor that corresponded with proliferating hepatocytes with steatosis showed slight hypointensity compared with the surrounding liver parenchyma, and the central region of the tumor that corresponded with cellular areas showed isointensity.
