Abstract
This case report describes a case of a 38-year-old woman with hepatic adenomatosis.
MRI revealed five hyperintense nodular liver lesions on T1-weighted images which were
hypo-isointense with the liver parenchyma on T2-weighted images. Serial gadolinium-enhanced
images did not reveal distinctive imaging findings. With the use of superparamagnetic
iron oxide (SPIO) particles, hyperintense adenomas revealed signal loss on T1-weighted
images after SPIO. Two subcapsular adenomas were resected based on MRI findings and
histopathology confirmed MRI diagnosis.
