Benign Hepatic Neoplasms

چکیده
Hepatic lesions are frequently identified incidentally on • imaging performed for other purposes. With the exception of large lesions, benign hepatic neo• plasms are typically asymptomatic. With current high quality imaging, it is possible to differentiate • the majority of hepatic neoplasms as benign or malignant. Resection of indeterminant, worrisome lesions is generally • preferred over biopsy. Hepatic hemangioma is the most common, solid lesion • found in the liver. Focal nodular hyperplasia (FNH) does not require resection, • but at the least, initial follow-up imaging is recommended.

متن کاملHepatic Adenomatosis: Diagnosis and Management Dilemma
Hepatic adenomatosis is a rare, benign tumour of the liver. It was fi rst described by Flejou et al as multiple adenomas in an otherwise normal liver parenchyma. Although benign, it can present as a diagnostic challenge because the lesions can be diffi cult to distinguish from other hepatic tumours. Patients can be asymptomatic and the diagnosis may only be made incidentally. We describe the ca...
