    AbstractWe reported a notable case of inflammatory hepatocellular adenoma that grew during pregnancy, consequently changing its appearance on magnetic resonance imaging remarkably. A 5-months-pregnant 35-year-old woman presented with a 37-mm liver nodule that had been diagnosed as focal nodular hyperplasia 3 years earlier. She had never used oral contraceptives. After 2 months, the nodule grew to 57 mm. The patient delivered a full-term infant without complications. Gadolinium-ethoxybenzyl-diethylenetriamine pentaacetic acid-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging performed after delivery revealed markedly different findings compared with the first images. A liver biopsy was performed, and the tumor was diagnosed as inflammatory hepatocellular adenoma.
