Abstract	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.
