Reactive lymphoid hyperplasia of the liver:Perinodular enhancement on contrast-enhanced computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging

摘要

We report the case of a 69-year-old woman with reactive lymphoid hyperplasia(RLH) of the liver.She underwent partial hepatectomy under a preoperative diagnosis of hepatocellular carcinoma; however,histopathological analysis revealed RLH.The liver nodule showed the imaging feature of perinodular enhancement in the arterial dominant phase on contrast-enhanced computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging,which could be a useful clue for identifying RLH in the liver.Histologically,the perinodular enhancement was compatible with prominent sinusoidal dilatation surrounding the liver nodule.
