Hepatic adenoma is a benign tumour of the liver, typically arising from hepatocytes, and is often associated with the use of oral contraceptives or anabolic steroids. Clinically, it is significant due to its potential for complications, including rupture and haemorrhage, which can lead to acute abdominal pain and may require surgical intervention. Regular monitoring and imaging are essential to assess the risk of malignant transformation, particularly in symptomatic patients.
