title: Benign liver tumors.
abstract: This article focuses on the main clinicopathologic and MR findings in the more frequent benign liver lesions (excluding hemangiomas) such as cysts, focal nodular hyperplasia, hepatocellular adenoma, and fatty tumors. These entities raise several questions concerning their pathogenesis, differential diagnosis from various malignant tumors or pseudotumoral hepatic lesions, and management that remain frequently controversial.
