  		Fig. 2B. —40-year-old woman with 10-cm focal nodular hyperplasia in liver segment I. Portal phase contrast-enhanced CT scan at same level as A shows obstruction of middle hepatic vein, associated with intrahepatic (arrow) and subcapsular (arrowhead) venous pathway between middle and right hepatic veins.

  		Fig. 3B. —42-year-old woman with 4-cm focal nodular hyperplasia located centrally in liver. Sonogram obtained at level below A shows intrahepatic venous collateral pathway (single solid arrow) between middle (double solid arrows) and right (open arrow) hepatic veins.

  		Fig. 3C. —42-year-old woman with 4-cm focal nodular hyperplasia located centrally in liver. Sonogram obtained in more cranial section than B clearly shows distal segment of intrahepatic venous collateral pathway (solid arrow). Pathway drains into right hepatic vein (open arrow).
