title: [Solitary necrotic nodule of the liver simulating a metastasis].
abstract: Solitary necrotic nodule of the liver is a uncommon benign lesion reported in old patients. The patients often had previous history of malignant lesions. The clinical aspects of S.N.N.L. suggest a metastatic lesion. The characteristic histological appearances are represented by a necrotic core (eosinophilic) surrounded by a hyalinised fibrotic tissue. We describe a case of S.N.N.L. identified in a 69 old woman previously resected for a colonic carcinoma.
