Benign liver tumors and tumor-like lesions cover a broad spectrum of differential diagnoses, varying from dysontogenetic cysts to pseudolesions. Focal nodular hyperplasia, adenoma and regenerating nodules play a major role in clinical practice. Based on imaging findings, these lesions can be classified as cystic or solid, solitary or multiple, and hyper- or hypovascular. Haemangioma, FNH, steroid-associated adenoma, cystadenoma and echinococcus cysts can be reliably diagnosed using imaging techniques. The same is true for pseudolesions, which are found in particular on dynamic computed tomography. Other entities such as adenoma in cirrhotic livers, angiomyolipoma, regenerating nodules or Echinococcus alveolaris cannot be safely diagnosed by imaging and require biopsy. Morphological and functional characteristics of the most common lesions in the different imaging modalities will be discussed. Where possible, a diagnostic strategy will be presented.
