- Hepatocellular adenoma is rare in regions where oral contraception is not widely used, such as asia.
- The prevalence of hepatocellular adenoma was increased in 1970s following the introduction of oral contraception in western countries.
Incidence
- The estimated incidence of hepatocellular adenoma is 3 per 1,000,000/year.[1]
- The annual incidence is substantially higher with long term oral contraceptive use, estimated at 3 to 4 per 100,000, but may be less with newer oral contraceptives.
