Abstract:
The management of hepatic adenoma in transgender individuals undergoing gender-affirming hormone therapy remains unclear, especially whether treatment should be based on sex assigned at birth or therapy patient received. We presented a transgender man, female at birth, with hepatic adenomatosis with molecular profile differed from typical adenomas in cisgender males on testosterone. Discontinuing testosterone led to autoinfarction of the adenoma, allowing the avoidance of invasive treatments and resumption of gender-affirming hormone therapy. This case underscores the necessity for personalized care in the growing transgender population and challenges current consensus of treatment based on sex assigned at birth, emphasizing a tailored approach.
