Non-traumatic spontaneous ruptured hepatocellular adenoma after selective transcatheter arterial chemo-embolization for reduction of tumor mass: A case report

Abstract

It is important to detect hepatic adenomas, which are generally well-confined lesions, as urgent treatment is required due to the risk of bleeding and conversion to malignancy. Dimensions can vary between 1 and 15 cm, and the risk of hemorrhage is higher in large and multiple-focus adenomas. The case is here presented of a patient with spontaneous ruptured liver adenoma after selective tran scatheter arterial chemo-embolization for reduction of tumor mass, with discussion of the clinical, computed tomography, angiographic findings, and treatment strategies.
