title: Solitary necrotic nodule of the liver: diagnosis and treatment.
abstract: In 1983, Shepherd and Lee described the solitary necrotic nodule of the liver, an uncommon non-malignant lesion with a characteristic histological appearance. This nodule can often be misinterpreted as a necrotic secondary tumour. Limited liver resection can make differential diagnosis and cure the lesion.
