In 1958, pathologist Hugh Edmondson, MD, first described focal nodular hyperplasia (FNH) as a solid, benign hepatic mass of non-vascular origin. Unlike the most common liver mass, the hemangioma, focal nodular hyperplasia is thought to result from increased hepatocyte number caused by hypoperfusion or hyperperfusion from anomalous arteries within the hepatic lobule. Focal nodular hyperplasia is often confounded by comorbid conditions, making establishing a diagnosis and management difficult. This activity reviews the cause, pathophysiology, and presentation of focal nodular hyperplasia and highlights the role of the interprofessional team in its management.
