Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the most prevalent primary malignant hepatic tumor and the fourth leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide [ 1 ]. Multiphase CT is a first line imaging modality for HCC diagnosis [ 2 – 4 ]. Alongside …

Jean Aicardi in 1965 described a syndrome of spasms in flexion, callosal agenesis, and ocular abnormalities [ 1 ]. In the following years, other findings were identified, in particular porencephalia, facial asymmetry, and vertebral dysplasia [ 2 ].

This study aims to investigate the utility of digital protocols for Ki-67 immunohistochemistry quantitative analysis (“hot spot” method) in the setting of well-differentiated hepatocellular neoplasms. Resection cases of typical hepatic adenomas …

Hepatic adenomas (HA), or hepatocellular adenomas, are benign liver tumors that occur predominantly in young women and have an estimated prevalence of 0.05% in the general population. 1 HAs are primarily thought to be hormone-driven, and their …

Hepatic adenomas (HA) are rare, benign tumors commonly associated with oral contraceptive use in young women. Given their pre-malignant potential, many patients require regular surveillance. While some small adenomas may regress with cessation of …

HCA is most commonly diagnosed in women of reproductive age. Women outnumber men 8:1 with a median age of 38 years. 5 HCAs are the third most common benign liver lesion following liver angiomas and focal nodular hyperplasia. 6 The incidence is …

The following reference in this paper refers to a paper that has been since retracted.

Hepatic adenomas (HA) are benign tumours and constitute 2% of all the liver tumours with an annual incidence of 3–4 per million in Europe and North America [ 1 ]. There has been an increase in incidence owing to increase in the use of …

The widespread use of imaging techniques has led to an increased incidence of detecting benign asymptomatic liver lesions, which are generally divided into two major categories: cystic and solid lesions. 1 Benign solid lesions are further …

We analyzed the clinical, hormonal, immunohistochemical and genetic features in a 69-yr-old Caucasian woman with a very rare “composite and mixed pheochromocytoma”. This was characterized by right adrenal pheochromocytoma associated with …

Focal nodular hyperplasia and hepatic adenoma are rare tumors in childhood and account for 2-7% and 2-4% of all pediatric hepatic tumors, respectively [ 1 ]. Most of the focal nodular hyperplasia and hepatic adenoma lesions are asymptomatic and …

A 62-year-old diabetic and hypertensive male presented to the hospital with recurrent episodes of fever without any jaundice. He had undergone Whipple’s pancreatoduodenectomy, 19 years prior for a periampullary tumour. On evaluation, his …

Hepatic adenomatosis and hepatocellular adenomas share risk factors and the same pathophysiologic spectrum. The presence in the liver of 10 hepatocellular adenomas defines hepatic adenomatosis. The diagnosis may be established incidentally during …

Hepatic adenomatosis (HeAs) is a rare clinical entity defined by the presence of 10 or more hepatic adenomas (HA) within the background of an otherwise normal liver parenchyma, in the absence of glycogen storage disease or anabolic steroid use. HA …

Solitary hepatic adenomas are usually asymptomatic, most often associated with oral contraceptive use in young women or anabolic steroids in men. In rare cases, adenomas can be seen in patients with a number of underlying metabolic abnormalities …

We report a rare case of hepatic adenomas (HA), in a 20-year-old Japanese girl treated for 6 years with anabolic androgens for aplastic anemia. In a review of the world literature using computer MEDLINE search, we found only 17 cases of …

Hepatic adenomatosis is a rarely encountered liver disease. It is an entity distinct from hepatocellular adenoma and is characterized by the presence of more than 10 hepatic adenomas. We present the multiplanar and multiphasic dynamic magnetic …
