abstract: Focal nodular hyperplasia is the second most common benign liver tumor after hemangioma and occurs predominantly in young women. Imaging techniques are crucial in the diagnosis of this lesion. In this article, we will present the imaging findings of the classic and non-classic FNHs. The role of percutaneous biopsy will also be detailed.
