    AbstractIn October 2021, a 51-year-old woman developed a skin rash. Abdominal computed tomography revealed a large splenic artery aneurysm and an intrahepatic portovenous shunt. As her splenic artery aneurysm was at risk of rupture, she was referred to the Kindai University Hospital and underwent coiling surgery. In October 2023, approximately two years after she had been initially referred, contrast-enhanced ultrasound revealed findings suggestive of focal nodular hyperplasia. No reports have confirmed the occurrence of liver masses in patients with hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia, which is considered to be an interesting finding when investigating the mechanism of tumor development.
