“…Unfortunately, only the minority of FNH show this feature of increased or normal uptake of sulfur colloid; the majority do not accumulate colloid material and therefore display defects by static imaging. Approximately one-third of patients with FNH manifest increased or normal colloid uptake [5,28]. This fact perhaps indicates that the activity or number of Kupffer cells in FNH is variable because foci of hemorrhage and necrosis, which could explain the decreased radionuclide uptake, are uncommon in this lesion [5,7,17].…”

The logistic approach in diagnosis of focal nodular hyperplasia (FNH) of the liver is discussed, based on the experience with three children. In only one child could the diagnosis be made without angiography. In that child the combination of hypervascularity on the radionuclide angiogram and uptake of the radiocolloid by Kupffer cells was sufficient for the diagnosis of FNH. If the radionuclide scintigraphy is inconclusive, angiography has to be done to show the typical features of FNH, seen in all three patients. Only if scintigraphy and angiography are not able to differentiate FNH from hepatic adenoma, biopsy or exploratory laparotomy is indicated as a final diagnostic procedure. Ultrasonography or computerized tomography is of value only in screening for hepatic mass lesions.

“…In the past, this was attributed to the absence of Kupffer cells [ 81 ]. However, a recent pathological study demonstrated that all hepatic adenomas studied contained Kupffer cells.…”

Simultaneous Occurrence of Hepatic Adenoma and Focal Nodular Hyperplasia: Report of a Case and Review of the Literature

We report the case of a 28-year-old woman with a history of oral contraceptive use and the simultaneous occurrence of histologically proven hepatic adenoma and focal nodular hyperplasia. A review of the literature discloses that the simultaneous occurrence of these hepatic lesions is a rare event. Epidemiologic evidence suggests that hepatic adenomas are etiologically related to oral contraceptive use, whereas focal nodular hyperplasia does not seem to be caused by these agents. The finding of the two lesions in the same liver may represent the chance occurrence of two rare diseases.
