Focal nodular hyperplasia (FNH) is a common benign lesion of the liver of uncertain pathogenesis that is more common in women. Lesions are often asymptomatic and diagnosed incidentally. Magnetic resonance imaging with liver-specific contrast allows non-invasive and accurate diagnosis. Most FNHs remain stable over long periods of follow-up. However, some rare cases of partial or complete spontaneous regression have been described in the literature. In this report, we discuss the case of a 38-year-old female patient who experienced not only complete regression of two liver lesions compatible with FNH, but also the appearance of a similar lesion in a different liver segment. To our knowledge, no similar cases have been reported.
