Benign regenerative nodules with copper accumulation in a case of chronic Budd-Chiari syndrome: CT and MR findings.
Budd-Chiari syndrome is a rare disease characterized by hepatic outflow obstruction due to different causes. Hepatic nodules in patients with Budd-Chiari syndrome are rare and can be due to hepatocellular carcinoma and benign regenerative nodules. Imaging descriptions of regenerative nodules in cirrhotic livers are numerous, but the imaging findings of benign regenerative nodules associated with Budd-Chiari syndrome have only recently been reported. We present the computed tomographic and magnetic resonance features of benign regenerative hepatic nodules with copper accumulation in a patient with chronic Budd-Chiari syndrome.
