Benign solid liver tumors, including adenomas and hemangiomas, present varied symptoms and require accurate diagnosis. Surgical resection is recommended for uncertain diagnoses or adenomas due to malignant transformation risk.

Area of Science:

  • Hepatology
  • Surgical Oncology
  • Diagnostic Imaging

Context:

  • Benign solid liver tumors encompass diverse lesions like adenomas, focal nodular hyperplasia, and hemangiomas.
  • Epidemiological characteristics of these tumors vary significantly.
  • Diagnostic advancements, particularly magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), have enhanced preoperative diagnosis, though definitive diagnosis remains challenging in some cases.

Purpose:

  • To review the clinical presentation, diagnostic modalities, and management strategies for benign solid liver tumors.
  • To emphasize the importance of accurate preoperative diagnosis and appropriate surgical intervention.
  • To highlight the low morbidity and mortality associated with surgical resection.

Summary:

  • Benign solid liver tumors are a heterogeneous group with varied presentations, often asymptomatic or causing abdominal pain.

  • Magnetic resonance imaging is the primary diagnostic tool, but definitive preoperative diagnosis is not always achievable.
  • Surgical intervention is indicated for diagnostic uncertainty, complications, or adenomas due to malignant transformation risk.

    • Impact:

    • Improved understanding of benign liver tumor management.
    • Guidance on surgical indications and risk assessment.
    • Reinforces the safety and efficacy of surgical resection for these lesions.
