Abstract

Hepatocellular adenoma is a rare benign tumor of the liver which occurs often in women of childbearing age and commonly associated with the long-term use of oral contraceptives. Hepatocellular adenoma has also been reported in men with glycogenosis or taking androgenic compounds. The occurrence of hepatocellular adenoma in men with no predisposing factor is very rare. We experienced a case of histopathologically confirmed hepatocellular adenoma in man without predisposing factors. In this case, 61 years old man presented with upper abdominal discomfort. Ultrasonography and computed tomography showed hepatic mass. Hepatic resection was performed, and hepatocellular adenoma was histologically confirmed.
