Focal nodular hyperplasia (FNH) is a common benign liver tumor that is usually treated conservatively. This report describes a histologic subtype of FNH that is more likely to be symptomatic as a result of hemorrhage and necrosis. The patient in this case was treated initially with surgical resection for multiple focal nodular hyperplasias and subsequently with bland embolization of an unresectable, symptomatic lesion.

Background: Focal nodular hyperplasia (FNH)-like lesions are hyperplastic formations in patients with micronodular cirrhosis and a history of alcohol abuse. Although pathologically similar to hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) lesions, they are benign. As such, it is important to develop methods to distinguish between FNH-like lesions and HCC.

A female adolescent with no relevant past history was admitted to the Pediatric Emergency Department with two episodes of seizures without trauma, fever, or other symptoms. Head-MRI revealed bilateral subependymal nodular irregularities lining the lateral ventricles, with similar signal evolution to grey matter, confirming the diagnosis of periventricular nodular heterotopias (PVNH). Genetic testing revealed a Filamin A ( variant; family studies were negative.
