Abstract Patients with decompensated cirrhosis complicated by hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) or those who have undergone liver transplantation following liver failure after HCC treatment should continue to receive post-transplant surveillance. Any new liver tumor must be carefully evaluated to determine whether it is a recurrence of HCC. Focal nodular hyperplasia (FNH), the second most common benign hepatic tumor, is believed to result from the hyperplastic response of hepatocytes to pre-existing vascular malformation. Here, we report a case of hepatic FNH two years after living-donor liver transplantation in a patient who experienced liver failure following treatment for HCC. Given the rarity of hepatic FNH after liver transplantation, we present this case along with a review of the literature.
