Hepatic adenomatosis in liver cirrhosis
نویسندگان
چکیده
Hepatocellular adenoma (HCA) is a benign liver tumor most frequently occurring in women using oral contraception. HCA develops in normal or nearly normal livers and is extremely rare in cirrhosis. The authors present magnetic resonance imaging and histopathologic findings in a 57-year-old man with liver cirrhosis and hepatic adenomatosis. As the differentiation between HCA and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) can be difficult with imaging, we would like to highlight the importance of ancillary findings such as the presence of iron on MRI, which can be observed in HCA.

Most documented cases have been reported in non-cirrhotic patients with diabetes mellitus, neutropenia, or treatment with corticosteroids. The prevalence of each infection is low among patients with hepatic cirrhosis. We report the first likely case of combined invasive pulmonary mucormycosis and asp...

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...
