Figure 1 45-year-old female patient.
A: 4.6 cm isoechoic lesion in segment 1 found in B-Mode sonography; B: Contrast-enhanced sonography with SonoVue® showed an early arterial enhancement with radial intratumoral vessels seen 13 s after injection; C: Strong enhancement of the whole lesion after 17 s, with a central scar becoming visible; D: In the portal phase, the lesion becomes isoenhancing with the surrounding normal liver tissue. The enhancement pattern is typical for a focal nodular hyperplasia (FNH).
