The American Surgeon
|July 1, 1978
Abstract:
Hepatic adenomas are being seen in young women taking oral contraceptives with alarming frequency. In the United States it is estimated that at least five million women are taking oral contraceptives. Physicians should consider hepatic adenoma in the differential diagnosis of all menstruating females with right upper quadrant pain. An early diagnosis and proper treatment could be life-saving.
