ABSTRACT
Focal nodular hyperplasia (FNH) is characterized by the presence a central scar with radiating fibrous septa. Our case had a capsular retraction, which was the result of an extension of the central scar to the surface. In addition, a hypointense scar on the T2-weighted image and a minimal enhancing central scar on the enhanced T1-weighted image, which was due to dense, sclerotic collagenous tissue, were observed. We report the first case of FNH with a capsular retraction.
ABSTRACT
Von Hippel-Lindau disease is an autosomal dominant disorder characterized by the presence of multiple benign and malignant tumors including hemangioblastomas of the retina and central nervous system, pancreatic cysts and tumors, renal cell carcinomas, pheochromocytomas and epididymal cystadenomas. We report the radiologic findings of a case of von Hippel-Lindau disease, describing the family history.
