title: Focal nodular hyperplasia occurring after blunt abdominal trauma.
abstract: Focal nodular hyperplasia of the liver is a benign neoplasm. The pathogenesis is unknown, but it was hypothesized that focal nodular hyperplasia may be a response to a vascular abnormality. We report on a case of focal nodular hyperplasia that developed in a young patient 1 year after a blunt hepatic injury.
