Hepatic hyperplastic nodules showing stains by portal blood flow: hemodynamics revealed by CTAP and CTHA

Abdom Imaging. 2006 Jan-Feb;31(1):65-8. doi: 10.1007/s00261-005-0353-1. Epub 2005 Nov 28.

Abstract

The hepatic hyperplastic nodule associated with idiopathic portal hypertension is classified as portal blood flow and hepatic arterial blood flow dominant types. These nodular lesions are considered attributable to abnormal blood flow in the liver. We describe a rare case of hepatic hyperplastic nodules showing stains by portal blood flow.
