We reported a rare case of Wilson disease with multiple low-echoic SOLs which were diagnosed regenerative nodules by meanes of DSCTI-AP and tumor biopsy. A 22-year-old male had been treated with D-penicillamine due to Wilson disease from May 1985. In June 1987, multiple low-ecboic SOLs in the liver were found, and he was admitted to our hospital for the working up for the SOLs. CT scan did not revealed SOLs in the liver, and celiac arteriography showed neither neovascularization nor tumor stain. But DSCTI-AP showed multiple low density areas in the liver, indicated partial disturbance of portal blood flow. From these results, SOLs were suspected regenerative nodules. Tumor biopsy was performed for diagnosis, and malignant cells were not seen in the SOLs, and we diagnosed the SOLs to regenerative nodules.
