Abstract
Case Report:
A 46-year-old female patient presented for further investigation of an isolated liver lesion that was diagnosed by her physician by abdominal ultrasound and computertomography. The Doppler ultrasound (including a signal amplifier) could not differentiate the lesion so that a laparoscopy was performed. A hepatic adenoma was found which was confirmed by the histological examination of a directed liver biopsy.
Conclusion:
Signs and symptoms, diagnostic procedures and differential diagnostic options of a hepatic adenoma are discussed.
