A 59-year-old patient with chronic hepatitis B and cirrhosis who has at least 10 hypoechoic lesions on US (a) measuring 2–3 cm (arrowhead).

This patient cannot be reliably screened with ultrasound. In fact, FNH-like nodules are identical to classic FNH and are benign. They occur in cirrhosis and are believed to originate from acquired hyperplastic responses to vascular alterations associated with cirrhosis
