Abstract:
Benign solid liver tumors are frequently discovered during routine sonographic examinations. As a rule, malignant tumors can be excluded using contrast medium-based sectional imaging; however, unclear cases can represent a diagnostic challenge. The category of solid benign liver tumors includes first and foremost hepatocellular adenoma (HCA), focal nodular hyperplasia (FNH) and hemangioma. Based on the most recent data, an overview of the current standards in the diagnostics and treatment is given.
