"Scar sign" on computed tomography and sonography in fibrolamellar hepatocellular carcinoma.
Demonstration by computed tomography of a central linear or stellate low-attenuation region within a focal liver mass has been reported to be suggestive of focal nodular hyperplasia in appropriate clinical settings. We present a case of a focal liver mass with typical central scarring in which the ultimate diagnosis was fibrolamellar hepatocellular carcinoma.
