Surgical resection is recommended for hepatic adenoma (HA) larger than 3cm, especially in women using oral contraceptives, to prevent hemorrhage or malignancy. This study reviews 28 HA cases, detailing surgical outcomes and complications.

Area of Science:

  • Hepatobiliary surgery
  • Surgical oncology
  • Gastroenterology

Background:

  • Hepatic adenoma (HA) is a rare benign liver tumor.
  • Resection is advised for symptomatic, enlarging, or potentially malignant HAs.
  • This study details a single-center experience with surgical HA treatment.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To summarize surgical treatment outcomes for hepatic adenoma.
  • To identify risk factors and recommend management strategies.
  • To evaluate complications associated with HA resection.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective review of 28 patients with hepatic adenoma (1989-2003).
  • Preoperative assessment included liver function tests, ultrasonography, CT, scintigraphy, and MRI.
  • Surgical procedures included enucleation, segmentectomy, and hemihepatectomy.

Main Results:

  • No postoperative mortality observed in 28 patients.
  • Common complications included bile leakage, abscess, pleural effusion, thrombosis, and wound infection.
  • Various resection techniques were employed, including enucleation and hemihepatectomy.

Conclusions:

  • Enucleation or anatomically based resection is recommended for HA.
  • Surgical intervention is crucial for tumors >3cm, particularly in women using oral contraceptives.
  • Early resection mitigates risks of hemorrhage and potential malignancy.
