title: [Differential diagnosis of benign liver tumours (two cases of focal nodular hyperplasia)].
abstract: Two patients (33-year-old man and 24-year-old woman) with focal nodular hyperplasia of the liver were treated by surgery in 1973. This is a rare neoplasm of the liver which, according to past experience, is a benign one. The clinical signs and symptoms in the two patients were uncharacteristic, but on angiography there was marked tumour vascularization. Histologically the tumour is closely related to a hamartoma but its classification is diffucult because of the confused nomenclature.
