[Focal nodular hyperplasia of the liver in doppler sonography--case report].
Current diagnostic capabilities of Doppler sonography in solid focal lesions were presented. Diagnostic difficulties were discussed in the case of focal liver lesion, wherein the diagnosis was not reached by sonography backed up by pulsed and color Doppler. The patient was submitted to surgical treatment. A histological specimen disclosed focal nodular hyperplasia. The analysis of the case in question proved that sonography even combined with Doppler method cannot differentiate between hepatocellular carcinoma and focal nodular hyperplasia.
