[MRI aspect of hepatic adenomatosis].
We report a case of hepatic adenomatosis demonstrated with MR imaging. The diagnosis can be suspected when this technique shows multiple hepatic lesions which present an iso-signal intensity on T1-wi, a hyperintense signal on T2-wi and rapid wash-in and wash-out of gadolinium. Injection of superparamagnetic iron oxide mag be useful in the characterization of the lesion: a decreased signal intensity after injection rules out the diagnosis of metastasis. Because of the unknown course of hepatic adenomatosis, histological proof and radiological follow-up are recommended.
