Solitary necrotic nodule of the liver: diagnostic and therapeutic considerations regarding a case

Chir Ital. 2004 Jul-Aug;56(4):567-70.

Abstract

Solitary necrotic nodule is a rare benign lesion of the liver of unknown aetiology, which as a result of its radiological features can be misdiagnosed as a necrotic tumour. We believe that surgical exploration with a limited liver resection and an extemporary examination of the specimen is the best strategy for this rare type of lesion.
