Budd-Chiari syndrome is a rare disease characterized by hepatic outflow
obstruction due to different causes. Hepatic nodules in patients with Budd-Chiari
syndrome are rare and can be due to hepatocellular carcinoma and benign
regenerative nodules. Imaging descriptions of regenerative nodules in cirrhotic
livers are numerous, but the imaging findings of benign regenerative nodules
associated with Budd-Chiari syndrome have only recently been reported.
We present the computed tomographic and magnetic resonance features of
benign regenerative hepatic nodules with copper accumulation in a patient
with chronic Budd-Chiari syndrome.
