Multiple focal nodular hyperplasia syndrome: diagnosis with dynamic, gadolinium-enhanced MRI.

Abstract

We present a rare case of multiple focal nodular hyperplasia (FNH) with greater than 20 FNH lesions and coexistent liver hemangiomata. Particular attention is paid to the MRI characteristics of this disease process and the features of "multiple FNH syndrome" are discussed.
