Objective  To summarize manifestation, imaging characteristics, and treatment of hepatic focal nodular hyperplasia (FNH). Methods  From January 2007 to December 2016, the patients pathologically confirmed hepatic FNH were included in this study. The clinical features and imaging characteristics were analyzed retrospectively. Results  Twenty-two cases were pathologically diagnosed as hepatic FNH with an age of (36.8±11.2) years (range from 20 to 61 years). Ten were males and 12 were females. Three patients had abdominal pain and 19 patients had no symptoms. The diameter of the lesions was (4.16±1.92) cm (range from 1.0 to 7.8 cm) and approximately 9 (40.9%) lesions were more than 5.0 cm. The diagnosis rates of CT and MRI were 64.70% (11/17) and 84.21% (16/19), respectively. All the patients underwent hepatectomy successfully and recovered without severe complications. No recurrence and metastasis happened during following-up of 1–103 months. Conclusions  Hepatic FNH is more common in young patients and has no typical symptoms. MRI is useful in diagnosis of hepatic FNH.
