Author(s): Kazumi Fujioka*
It is known that Focal Nodular Hyperplasia (FNH) of the liver is the second common benign liver tumor following
hemangioma. Recently, it is Probable that the Senescence-Associated Secretory Phenotype (SASP) plays a crucial
role for fibrosis, inflammation, and reduced apoptotic cell death, leading to the increased tissue volume observed in
FNH. Regarding microRNAs (miRNA), the results provided that the decreased miR-18a, miR-195, and miR-210
expressions may differentiate FNH from cirrhosis suggesting the different pathogenesis of two entities. In this
article, current knowledge and trends of FNH along with oxaliplatin-induced this entity have been reviewed in
detail. Additionally, the author described previously treated two cases of FNH showing peculiar image features and
clinical presentation. Results provided that unique endothelial cell expressed SOST of fibrous.. View more»
