[Magnetic resonance tomography in hepatocellular carcinoma and idiopathic hemochromatosis].
A case of hepatocellular carcinoma in idiopathic hemochromatosis is discussed to illustrate the possible advantages of MR imaging. Since hepatic iron overload provides a natural source of paramagnetic contrast enhancement MRI should performed in preference to other investigative procedures to detect small and curative resectable hepatocellular carcinomas in patients with hemochromatosis.
