Overview
What are the symptoms of Hepatocellular adenoma?
Small hepatocellular adenomas are generally asymptomatic.[1][2][3]
- Abdominal pain is the most common presenting symptom in some patients, and the pain is usually related to tumoral hemorrhage.
- Right upper quadrant abdominal fullness or discomfort is present in 40% of cases due to mass effect.
- Eventually, spontaneous rupture or hemorrhage may occur, leading to acute abdominal pain with progression to hypotension and even death.
- Patients with hepatocellular adenomas typically have a history of oral contraceptive use (females) and long term anabolic steroids use (males).[4][5]
