Overview
Hepatocellular adenoma, also hepatic adenoma, or rarely hepadenoma, is an uncommon benign liver tumour which is associated with the use of types of hormonal contraception with a high estrogen content.[1]
Diagnosis
MRI is the most useful investigation in the diagnosis and workup.[2]
Diagnostic Findings
Treatment
All hepatocellular adenoma should be surgically resected, because of the risk of rupture causing bleeding and because they may contain malignant foci.[3]
