Management

Hepatic adenoma

Management of hepatic adenoma depends upon:

  • Symptoms
  • Size
  • Number
  • Location
  • Certainty of the diagnosis

Asymptomatic woman on OCPs with a small adenoma

The European Association for Study of the Liver recommends

  • Discontinuation of contraceptive medication
  • Close observation of the lesion with repeated imaging and alpha fetoprotein.
    • Contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging at a six month interval to determine if there is regression of a large adenoma to less than 5 cm.
  • Patients with hepatic adenomas that do not resolve or that enlarge after six months of observation should undergo treatment.

Symptomatic patients and those with large adenomas

  • Surgical resection is recommended for all symptomatic patients with hepatic adenoma and those with large lesions (>5 cm).
  • Surgical options include :
    • Enucleation
    • Resection
    • Liver transplantation
  • Nonsurgical interventions include
    • Transarterial embolization
    • Radiofrequency ablation
