Abstract

A healthy, asymptomatic 37-year-old woman was found to have elevated liver enzymes on routine examination. All other laboratory tests were within normal limits with the exception of elevated ferritin and total iron-binding capacity. The patient denied the use of oral contraceptives. Subsequent studies with ultrasound and CT scan revealed hepatic masses in both lobes. The patient was referred for possible resection or ablation of masses. Further studies with triple-phase CT scan of the liver, hepatobiliary scan, and Tc-99m sulfur colloid scan with SPECT revealed the typical appearance of focal nodular hyperplasia (FNH).
