Abstract
Hepatic adenomas are benign solid liver tumors commonly found in young females and usually asymptomatic. Hepatic adenomatosis is characterized by more than 10 adenomas in an otherwise normal liver. Bleeding and malignant transformation uncommonly occur especially in tumor larger than 5 cm and in male patients. The authors reported a case of a young female with large multiple hepatic adenomas from hepatic adenomatosis that presented with abdominal pain, large abdominal mass, weight lost, and abnormal liver function tests. She failed transarterial embolization. Surgical resection was not offered due to extent of the hepatic adenomas. She received orthotopic liver transplantation as rescue therapy. Her explanted liver showed multiple foci of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Her post-operative was uneventful. The authors reported a case of liver transplantation for the treatment of unresectable hepatic adenomatosis.
