Coexistence of focal nodular hyperplasia and pseudotumor caused by focal spared lesion in the liver of a young man.
We report a case of 19-year-old male with an underlying case of chronic hepatitis C infection who suffered from two types of benign liver tumor: focal nodular hyperplasia (FNH) and pseudotumor due to focal fatty spared area in a fatty liver. These two kinds of lesions rarely occur simultaneously. The spectral Doppler ultrasound (US) images of these lesions were also provided. We suggest that spectral Doppler US provides an alternative diagnostic tool for the differentiation of liver tumors regarding their vascular pattern, which might help ensure a correct diagnosis.
