An incidental liver observation detected at imaging in an asymptomatic patient without underlying disease is benign in 96% of the cases [9]. The etiology is unclear, but may result from different mechanisms, including developmental and acquired causes. CD68-positive staining pattern is also helpful.

The reason of hyperintensity in the HBP compared to the surrounding regenerative nodules may be probably due to more hyperplastic change than surrounding monoacinar cirrhotic nodules [90]. In case of FNH-like nodules related to oxaliplatin, FNH-like nodules are also usually hyper- or isointense to the surrounding liver parenchyma in the HBP, and a ring (or doughnut-like) pattern on HBP is observed in approximately 50% cases (Fig.8) [56].

The lesion shows heterogeneous enhancement on arterial phase(1 C) and portal phase(1D). However, it also exists in young and middle-aged people who have a history of other medical issues. Intrahepatic mass-forming cholangiocarcinomas are hypointense on HBP because these lesions lack hepatocytes.

Focal fatty sparing is a common finding in patients with diffuse fatty infiltration of the liver [48].

FNH-like nodules may rarely be observed in patients with cirrhosis [54, 55] or can occur de novo after treatment with oxaliplatin, usually after a mean interval of about 48months after treatment and may increase in size in 42% of the cases [56]. Monoacinar nodules are usually 0.110mm in diameter, while large multiacinar nodules are usually 515mm in diameter [26]. In patients with hepatic disorders such as primary biliary cirrhosis and idiopathic portal hypertension, it has been suggested that the periportal HBP hyperintensity is related to regenerative changes of periportal hepatocytes, which lead to a relatively increased uptake of the hepatobiliary contrast agent compared to the damaged background liver [91]. Med (Baltim). It does not have internal nodule and does not show enhancement after the administration of intra-venous contrast agents (whether with US, CT or MRI) (Figs.

The great variability of these percentages in the literature may be partially attributed to the subjective identification of different patterns of FNHs in the various studies. The largest lesions are confluent in the right lobe, showing hypointensity on unenhanced T1-weighted images (a), centrifugal enhancement from arterial (b) to portal (c) and transitional (d) phase, hyperintensity on T2-weighted (e) images. It provides a more clear and visible image of the tissues. Although computed tomography (CT) imaging, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) positron emission tomography (PET)/CT findings feature of SANT have been reported. Therefore, DWI may be more effective than enhanced CT, T2WI and dynamic MRI in diagnosing SANT, with features of hypointensity on DWI and hyperintensity on ADC map in few literature[8,9,10].

Gadoxetate disodium-enhanced MRI shows two FNH-like nodules (arrows) that are hyperintense in the hepatobiliary phase with central small hypointensity due to a central scar. The causative mechanism of this phenomenon is still debated; it has been suggested to be a slow accumulation of the contrast material within the intercellular matrix of the tumor [22] or an interstitial diffusion of the hepatobiliary contrast agent within areas of necrosis [67].

Considering the challenges in the differential diagnosis between FNH-like lesions and HCC, specific diagnosis requires extensive clinical, laboratory and imaging work-up, including follow-up every 6months if liver lesions have features of FNH-like lesions and alpha 1-fetoprotein levels are low, or liver biopsy if imaging features are atypical, if significant changes occur over time or if serum alpha 1-fetoprotein becomes elevated [49].

After contrast administration, the lesion shows less contrast-enhanced than the spleen parenchyma in arterial phase(1G) and portal venous phase(1 H). Staff Login

The area of fat sparing is (c) slightly hyperintense (arrow) to the background liver in the hepatobiliary phase. These literature focus on conventional T1WI, T2WI and enhanced images. Light microscopy revealed that A 38-year old woman with BuddChiari syndrome and FNH-like nodule. PubMed Central Dysplastic nodules are observed in up to 25% of cirrhotic patients [89]. Dr. Paxton Daniel answered no financial relationships to ineligible companies to disclose. 34 Zhongshan Bei Road, Licheng District, Quanzhou, Fujian, China, Department of Radiology, Zhongshan Hospital, Fudan University, No. CAS

Unenhanced computed tomography (CT) showed a low attenuation in right frontal lobe (white asterisk) (A). Hypervascular benign liver lesions may simulate metastases and HBP often allows the differential diagnosis (Fig.9). California Privacy Statement, The requirement for informed consent was waived by the Ethics Committee of Zhongshan Hospital of Fudan University because of the retrospective nature of the study. Cirrhosis: modified caudate-right lobe ratio. In case of a nodule showing central uptake of contrast agent in the HBP due to fibrotic content, imaging assessment should be based on extracellular phases: If the lesion shows irregular peripheral enhancement in the hepatic arterial phase and gradual centripetal enhancement on following phases, the diagnosis of intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma is favored because this entity may show central uptake in 4257% of cases [18,19,20]; if the patient has a history of malignancy and a target rim appearance on post-contrast phases, the lesion is suspicious for metastasis although central uptake in the HBP is not a common imaging presentation of liver metastases [22, 23, 67]. Although the causative mechanism of this different OATP1B3 expression is not fully understood, some theories have been proposed: Ven Kessel et al. Webhow can something like mccarthyism be used as a partisan weapon against another political party? Its not easy for common people to understand the neuropathology of MRI hyperintensity. Messina C, Bignone R, Bruno A, Bruno A, Bruno F, Calandri M et al.Diffusion-Weighted Imaging in Oncology: An Update. A non-neoplastic, regenerating hepatocellular hyperplasia, secondary to the presence of focal vascular abnormalities in the liver. 2014;39(5):4701. Compared to gadobenate dimeglumine, gadoxetate disodium is administered at a lower dose (0.1mmol/kg vs 0.025mmol/kg of body weights), has greater uptake (50% vs. 35%) and has earlier onset uptake by the hepatocytes (starting from40min vs. 6090s after contrast injection), which results in differences in the enhancement of hepatic parenchyma and vessels on portal venous, delayed and hepatobiliary phase (HBP), as well as earlier acquisition of HBP [2,3,4,5,6]. J Clin Imaging Sci. [37] classified all FNHs in only 3 patterns (i.e., uniform uptake, iso- or hyperintense to liver, hyperintense rim with core that is hypointense relative to liver, or hyperintense rim with core that is iso- or hyperintense to liver) while a more recent paper identified two patterns for FNH in the HBP, including an homogenous or a doughnut-like pattern [38].

Since 2004, many reports described the pathology of SANT, however, the reports about imaging characteristics have been limited to case reports. 11 cases had an immunohistochemistry report. Therefore, healthcare providers need to interpret the imaging reports and provide their patients with relevant information to help them understand their health conditions. Simple cyst in the anterior segment of the right liver lobe. On T1WI, 10 cases (83.3%) were isointense and 2 cases (16.7%) were slightly hypointense. Insights Imaging 3(5):451474.
