Abstract:
During the past decades, a number of reports have described benign liver tumors in young women using oral contraceptives. The masses were usually found incidentally in physical examination or were identified as the source of a spontaneous intraperitoneal hemorrhage. Focal nodular hyperplasia(FNH) is the one of these benign tumor of the liver. We report a case of an incidentally discovered mass of FNH in a 46-year-old man which was incidentally discovered.
