Focal nodular hyperplasia of the liver in children: a report of three new cases.

Abstract
Three cases of focal nodular hyperplasia of the liver in children are presented. The angiographic findings of a hypervascular mass with dense, delayed capillary stain in combination with increased uptake of 99mTc sulfur colloid on radionuclide scans were present in 2 cases. Computed tomography, utilized in 1 case, demonstrated a well-circumscribed mass with an irregular stellate area of low density which corresponded to the central collagenous scar described pathologically. The ultrasonographic finding was that of a mass slightly less echogenic than surrounding normal liver tissue.
