Hamrick-Turner JE, Shipkey FH, Cranston PE Fibrolamellar hepatocellular carcinoma: MR appearance mimicking focal nodular hyperplasia. [Case Reports, Journal Article] J Comput Assist Tomogr 1994 Mar-Apr; 18(2):301-4.
We report the MR findings of a case of fibrolamellar hepatocellular carcinoma that fulfilled MR criteria proposed as diagnostic of focal nodular hyperplasia. Because confusion of fibrolamellar carcinoma with focal nodular hyperplasia could result in a missed opportunity for cure, pathologic assessment remains necessary in cases demonstrating these MR findings that do not show radiotracer uptake on 99mTc-sulfur colloid scintigraphy.
