Abstract
Until recently, focal nodular hyperplasia was thought to be an adult problem, exclusively. We presented two different cases of focal nodular hyperplasia in children. The first child underwent chemotherapy and bone marrow allotransplantation due to non-Hodgkin lymphoma and focal nodular hyperplasia was diagnosed incidentally a few years later. In the second child, a diagnosis of focal nodular hyperplasia was established in the course of differential diagnosis of abdominal pain. Focal nodular hyperplasia might be difficult to diagnose on the basis of imaging procedures and sometimes liver biopsy is required.
