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

Hepatic Hemangioma

  • Asymptomatic patients
    • Patients with lesions <1.5 cm, are reassured and observed.
    • Follow-up imaging in patients with hemangiomas ≤5 cm in size is usually not recommended.
    • Patients with rapid growth of a hemangioma or with lesions >5 cm it is recommended to repeat imaging in 6 to 12 months.
    • It is recommended not perform additional imaging if there is no change in the size of the lesion.  
  • Symptomatic patients
    • Patients who have pain or symptoms suggestive of extrinsic compression of adjacent structures should be considered for surgical options.
    • Surgical options include 
      • Liver resection
      • Enucleation
      • Hepatic artery ligation
      • Liver transplantation
    • Non-surgical techniques include
      • Hepatic artery embolization
      • Radiotherapy
      • Interferon alfa-2a 

Focal nodular hyperplasia

  • Due to their benign nature of focal nodular hyperplasia, there is
  • Follow-up studies at three and six months will often be sufficient to confirm the stability of the lesion and its benign nature, after which no long-term follow-up is required routinely.
  • Surgery should be reserved for symptomatic FNH lesion.
Parasitic Infection Mode of infection Epidemiology Clinical manifestations  Diagnosis Treatment

Schistosomiasis

Infection can occur by:

  • Penetration of the human skin by cercaria
  • Handling of contaminated soil
  • Consumption of contaminated water or food sources (e.g, unwashed garden vegetables)
  • Approximately 200 million people are infected annually with 200,000 deaths per year.
