Abstract

The frequency of hepatic nodular lesion detection has increased due to recent advances in imaging diagnostic techniques. There are many hypervascular hepatic nodules which need to be differentiated from hepatocellular carcinoma. Of these lesions, hepatic adenoma, focal nodular hyperplasia, nodular regenerative hyperplasia, and focal nodular hyperplasia-like nodules will be described in this review article. All of them are hypervascular and so it is needed to differentiate hepatocellular carcinoma.
