Non-neoplastic nodular lesions in the liver.

Abstract:

:The classical nomenclature and categorization of neoplastic and non-neoplastic nodular lesions of the liver are being revised due to the tremendous volume of information recently published on this issue. The diagnostic histopathology of non-neoplastic nodular (tumor-like) lesions of the liver that are recognizable in biopsied, surgically resected and autopsied livers is reviewed using current terminology. Generally, such nodules are infrequent and even rare in routine liver specimens. Non-neoplastic nodules include focal nodular hyperplasia, nodular regenerative hyperplasia, compensatory hyperplasia of the liver, pseudonodule of the liver demonstrable by angiography, partial nodular transformation, focal fatty change, nodular hepatic area shown by modified angiography, cirrhotic large regenerative nodule with variable atypia, anoxic pseudolobular necrosis, intrahepatic bile duct adenoma, biliary and mesenchymal hamartoma, and mesenchymal nodular lesions such as inflammatory pseudotumor and pseudolymphoma, pseudolipoma, peliosis hepatis, solitary necrotic nodule, and so on. Some of these develop preferentially in non-cirrhotic or cirrhotic livers, while others occur with similar prevalence in cirrhotic and non-cirrhotic livers. Some occur multiply or diffusely and others singly. As to the pathogenesis of these nodules, it is speculated that hyperplasia due to disturbed intrahepatic circulation or hormonal imbalance, preneoplastic characteristics, abnormal metabolic disturbance, hamartoma or focal necrobiotic processes, and infection have a role. Knowledge and awareness of these non-neoplastic nodular lesions are necessary for precise diagnosis and differentiation of these nodular lesions from neoplastic hepatic nodules.
