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. [cite journal | author = Rooks J, Ory H, Ishak K, Strauss L, Greenspan J, Hill A, Tyler C | title = Epidemiology of hepatocellular adenoma. The role of oral contraceptive use. | journal = JAMA | volume = 242 | issue = 7 | pages = 644–8 | year = 1979 | pmid = 221698 | doi = 10.1001/jama.242.7.644]

Diagnosis

MRI is the most useful investigation in the diagnosis and workup. [cite journal | author = Hussain S, van den Bos I, Dwarkasing R, Kuiper J, den Hollander J | title = Hepatocellular adenoma: findings at state-of-the-art magnetic resonance imaging, ultrasound, computed tomography and pathologic analysis. | journal = Eur Radiol | volume = 16 | issue = 9 | pages = 1873–86 | year = 2006 | pmid = 16708218 | doi = 10.1007/s00330-006-0292-4]

Treatment

All hepatocellular adenoma should be surgically resected, because of the risk of rupture causing bleeding and because they may contain malignant foci. [cite journal | author = Toso C, Majno P, Andres A, Rubbia-Brandt L, Berney T, Buhler L, Morel P, Mentha G | title = Management of hepatocellular adenoma: solitary-uncomplicated, multiple and ruptured tumors. | journal = World J Gastroenterol | volume = 11 | issue = 36 | pages = 5691–5 | year = 2005 | pmid = 16237767" [http://www.wjgnet.com/1007-9327/11/5691.asp Full text] "]
