Focal nodular hyperplasia (FNH) is a rare benign tumor-like space-occupying lesion of the liver that is especially rare in children. Since there have been no reports of malignant progression of this disease and these lesions remain unchanged for a long period of time or even disappear in some cases, it remains controversial whether clinical treatment is needed. However, if the diagnosis is unclear, the patient has symptoms or the lesion becomes enlarged during follow-up, clinical treatment should be considered. Here, we report the first case of FNH near the gallbladder treated by ultrasound-guided percutaneous microwave ablation (MWA) in a 9-year-old girl.
