Patients with benign focal liver lesions who do not have underlying liver disease and have demonstrated clinical (asymptomatic) and radiologic stability do not need repeated imaging as the likelihood of evolving into neoplastic lesions is very low. In contrast, patients with radiologic evidence of hepatocellular adenoma may have an increased risk of complications and/or neoplasia thus warranting closer observation.
Conditions: Focal liver lesions, focal nodal hyperplasia, hemangioma, hepatocellular adenoma
Procedures: Computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)
