ABSTRACT
Objective To review the clinical features,therapeutic approach and prognosis of hepatocellular adenoma(HCA)and liver adenomatosis(LA).Methods The clinical data from patients with histopathological diagnosis confirmed on operative specimens were analyzed retrospectively.Results There were 10 patients with HCA and 1 with LA.The disease was found mainly in females (n=7,63.6%),and only one female patient with LA had a history of use of oral contraceptive.The median age at presentation was 33 years(range,25-70 years).Most patients(n=8,72.7%)had no significant symptom.Tumor markers including CA19-9 and alpha fetoprotein(AFP)were normal.On dynamic ultrasonography,CT and MRI,most lesions showed contrast enhancement in the arterial phase and washout in the portal venous phase and delayed phase.For the 10 patients with HCA,the lesion was solitary.On histopathology,atypia and dysplasia were present in 1 patient,dysplasia in 1 patient,and active tumor cell growth in 1 patient.The patients with liver adenomatosis had multiple lesions and atypia.All patients underwent liver resection.There was no recurrence on follow-up which ranged from 21 to 125 months.Conclusions Most patients had no clinical symptoms.Hepatic steato sis may be a potential cause for HCA and LA.Oral contraceptive plays an important role in the patho genesis of LA.Dynamic imaging examinations were helpful for diagnosis.In view of the associated risks of hemorrhage and malignant transformation,surgical resection is the optimal treatment.The prognosis is good.
