Liver resection for hepatic adenoma.

R Weil, L J Koep, T E Starzl

    Archives of Surgery (Chicago, Ill. : 1960)
    |February 1, 1979
    PubMed
    Summary

    This study on hepatic adenomas found that surgical resection led to good outcomes in patients, including those who had used oral contraceptives. Future treatments may involve less invasive methods like arterial embolization or discontinuing oral contraceptives.

    Area of Science:

    • Hepatobiliary Surgery
    • Surgical Oncology
    • Gastroenterology

    Background:

    • Hepatic adenomas are rare liver tumors, often associated with oral contraceptive use in women.
    • Diagnosis can be challenging, with initial misdiagnosis as malignant hepatoma occurring in some cases.
    • Bleeding is a significant complication requiring prompt management.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the outcomes of surgical resection for hepatic adenomas.
    • To assess the role of oral contraceptives in the development and management of hepatic adenomas.
    • To explore alternative, less invasive treatment options for hepatic adenomas.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective review of eight hepatic adenoma resections performed between 1970 and 1978.
    • Analysis of patient demographics, clinical presentation, and treatment outcomes.
    • Histologic review and follow-up for tumor recurrence.

    Main Results:

    • All eight patients achieved complete recovery with no known recurrence after resection.
    • Four patients had a history of oral contraceptive use; one patient was male.
    • Four patients presented with bleeding; five initially received a diagnosis of malignant hepatoma.
    • Oral contraceptive use was discontinued in affected patients.

    Conclusions:

    • Surgical resection is a safe and effective treatment for hepatic adenomas when associated risks are low.
    • Discontinuation of oral contraceptives may be a viable management strategy.
    • Less invasive treatments like hepatic arterial embolization warrant further investigation for future therapeutic options.
