Liver Cell Adenoma: A Multicenter Analysis of Risk Factors for Rupture and Malignancy

Abstract: In this multicenter analysis of patients with LCAs, risk of rupture correlated with increasing tumor size and recent hormone use. Rupture is associated with greater need for preoperative blood transfusion and major hepatic resection. These data suggest that patients with asymptomatic LCAs approaching 4 cm and those requiring hormonal therapy should undergo surgical therapy.

“…9,10 Although HCAs are benign, lesions larger than 5 cm have a relatively high risk of bleeding (25-40%) and an estimated risk of malignant transformation of approximately 5 per cent. [11][12][13] For these lesions elective resection is generally accepted as treatment of choice and can be performed both through an open or laparoscopic approach.…”

“…The main complications of HA are rupture, hemorrhage and malignant transformation, the incidence of which increase with increasing adenoma size. 8,9 For giant HAs, surgical excision at an experienced liver surgery unit is the gold standard treatment option. 1 Our literature review also indicates that this is the first report of HA in siblings.…”
