여성에서 경구 피임약과의 관련성 없이 발생한 간세포선종 1 예

Hepatocellular adenomas are rare benign tumors which are found principally in women during the period of reproductive activity. There is a causal relation between the use of oral contraceptives and these tumors. Because of the risk of hemorrhage and malignant transformation, hepatocellular adenoma must be treated promptly. We experienced a 26-year-old woman with a huge hepatocellular adenoma not associated with oral contraceptive. The tumor did not respond to transarterial embolization, so it was resected surgically.
