MHNs show distinct imaging features that may allow accurate noninvasive diagnosis and differentiation from other hepatic lesions, including cavernous hemangioma, focal nodular hyperplasia, and other variants of hepatocellular adenoma or carcinoma. Differentiation between benign and malignant MHN may not be possible by imaging, possibly necessitating earlier definitive therapy or surgical management.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
