title: [Nodular lymphoid hyperplasia of the liver. Pseudolymphoma].
abstract: We present a rare pathological entity of the liver and review the literature.
  
  
  METHODS
  a 33-year-old asymptomatic woman showed a space-occupying lesion on liver segment VI, which was detected incidentally on ultrasound examination performed for a gynecological disorder. Computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging of the liver confirmed a 3-cm lesion in segment VI. Segmentectomy of segment VI was performed. Pathological diagnosis was nodular lymphoid hyperplasia of the liver. Nodular lymphoid hyperplasia or pseudo-lymphoma is a highly uncommon disease that usually develops in cirrhotic liver. Our patient was free of liver disease.
