ABSTRACT

Solitary necrotic nodule of the liver (SNNL) is an uncommon disease in clinical practice, and its pathogenesis is still unclear. Here, we report the case of a 35-year-old woman. After physical examination, the patient was found to have a liver neoplasm, and there were no other physical complaints. Abdominal contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) showed the presence of a hypodense lesion. The patient opted for surgery to eliminate the lesion. Pathologic examination revealed an isolated necrotic nodular lesion with a size of 12 cm×10 cm×10 cm. The patient had a history of hepatitis B infection. To our knowledge, this is the largest SNNL ever reported and the first case with a history of hepatitis B infection.
