Abstract:
Objective To explore the clinical diagnosis and management of focal nodular hyperplasia (FNH) of the liver. Methods Forty-two FNH cases treated in the past 9 years were studied retrospectively. The clinical and pathologic data were reviewed. Results Preoperative liver function test and AFP were normal. The preoperative radiography in FNH was usually not specific, with less than 50% cases were suggestive of FNH of the liver. Surgical resection resulted in a permanent cure with no significant postoperative complications. More than one year follow-up found recurrence in one case. Conclusion Clinical, laboratory and radiological findings when combined could help in establishing tentative diagnosis of FNH. Surgery is recommended in cases with equivocal diagnosis or in fear of hepatocellular carcinoma.
