Overview
Pathophysiology
On gross pathology, well circumscribed, nonlobulated,[1] smooth and soft, white to yellow to brown lesions, are characteristic findings of a solitary hepatocellular adenoma.
On microscopic histopathological analysis, cords of hepatocytes that have a high glycogen and fat content, lack of normal hepatic parenchymal architecture and an absence of portal tracts and hepatic veins are characteristic findings of hepatocellular adenoma.[2]
