Overview

The incidence of hepatocellular adenoma is approximately 3 per 100,000 individuals worldwide.[1] It is a rare benign tumor that is mainly found in women of child-bearing age.[2]

Epidemiology and demographics

  • The hepatocellular adenoma is more common in women in western countries, where they are exposed to higher doses of oral contraceptives.
  • Hepatocellular adenoma is rare in regions where oral contraception is not widely used, such as asia.
  • The prevalence of hepatocellular adenoma was increased in 1970s following the introduction of oral contraception in western countries.

Incidence

  • The estimated incidence of hepatocellular adenoma is 3 per 1,000,000/year.[1]
  • The annual incidence is substantially higher with long term oral contraceptive use, estimated at 3 to 4 per 100,000, but may be less with newer oral contraceptives.

Age

  • The hepatocellular adenoma is more common in woman of childbearing age who take oral contraceptives.

Gender

Women are more commonly affected with hepatocellular adenoma than males.
