title: [Telangiectatic focal nodular hyperplasia: a case report].
abstract: Focal nodular hyperplasia(FNH) is a benign tumor-like lesion of the liver. The telangiectatic type is an atypical histologic variant of FNH, and descriptions of its radiologic findings are rare. We report a case of telangiectatic FNH. A 26-20 mm round lesion was found in the lateral segment of the liver. Although this lesion appeared similar to cavernous hemangioma with rapid intratumoral contrast material enhancement on cross-sectional images, its signal intensity decreased on T2-weighted imaging after the administration of superparamagnetic iron oxide(SPIO), and its appearance differed from that of cavernous hemangioma.
