Overview
Hepatocellular adenoma is an uncommon benign liver tumour which is associated with the use of hormonal contraception with a high estrogen content.[1]
Historical Perspective
Hepatocellular adenoma was first discovered by Edmondson in 1958 following 50,000 autopsies.[2]
Classification
Hepatocellular adenoma may be classified into four subtypes based on rate of occurence.[3]
Pathophysiology
On gross pathology, well circumscribed, nonlobulated,[4] smooth and soft, white to yellow to brown lesions, are characteristic findings of a solitary hepatocellular adenoma.[2]
Causes
The most common cause of hepatocellular adenoma is oral contraceptive use.[2]
Epidemiology and Demographics
The incidence of hepatic adenoma is approximately 3 per 100,000 individuals worldwide.[2]
Risk factors
The most potent risk factor in the development of hepatocellular adenoma is use of oral contraceptive pills.[5]
Screening
According to the United States Preventive Services Task Force, there is insufficient evidence to recommend routine screening for hepatocellular adenoma.[6]
Differentiating Hepatocellular adenoma from other Diseases
Hepatocellular adenoma must be differentiated from other diseases such as hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), focal nodular hyperplasia (FNH), liver metastases (hypervascular), haemangioma of the liver, fibrolamellar hepatocellular carcinoma.[3]
Natural History, Complications and Prognosis
If left untreated, 30% of patients with hepatocellular adenoma may progress to develop risk of bleeding.[6]Common complication of Hepatocellular adenoma includes spontaneous rupture, haemorrhage[3][7]and malignant transformation to Hepatocellular carcinoma.[7]
Diagnosis
History and Symptoms
Physical Examination
Laboratory Findings
Chest X Ray
There are no chest x-ray findings associated with hepatocellular adenoma.
CT
MRI
Ultrasound
Other Imaging Findings
Other Diagnostic Studies
Hepatocellular adenoma can present as right upper quadrant pain, acute abdomen or life threatening bleeding.[2]An elevated concentration of serum alkaline phosphatase and gamma glutamyl transferase may be present in patients with Hepatocellular adenoma.[8]
Treatment
Medical Therapy
Surgery
Primary Prevention
Secondary Prevention
All hepatocellular adenoma should be surgically resected, because of the risk of rupture causing bleeding and because they may contain malignant foci.[9]
