Bland embolization of telangiectatic subtype of hepatic focal nodular hyperplasia.
Focal nodular hyperplasia (FNH) is a common benign liver tumor that is usually treated conservatively. This report describes a histologic subtype of FNH that is more likely to be symptomatic as a result of hemorrhage and necrosis. The patient in this case was treated initially with surgical resection for multiple focal nodular hyperplasias and subsequently with bland embolization of an unresectable, symptomatic lesion.
