Nodular regenerative hyperplasia of the liver. Report of three cases and review of the literature.
Nodular regenerative hyperplasia of the liver is a rare pathologic condition that occurs in adults. We report three cases of this condition, including that of an infant with coexisting globoid cell leukodystrophy (Krabbe's disease). The literature on nodular regenerative hyperplasia of the liver is reviewed with emphasis on the role of drugs in the production of this disease.
