ResumoIt is not always possible to accurately diagnose the nature of a given lesion as different lesion types often have similar enhancement/behavior patterns on CT or MRI ( 1 Mahfouz AE Hamm B Taupitz M Wolf KJ Hypervascular liver lesions: differentiation of focal nodular hyperplasia from malignant tumors with dynamic gadolinium-enhanced MR Imaging. Radiology. 1993; 186: 133-138 Crossref PubMed Scopus (163) Google Scholar ). Moreover, the frequent atypical appearance of certain lesion types (e.g. FNH) might further complicate the diagnosis ( 2 Boulahdour H Cherqui D Charlotte F et al.
