Abstract

Liver cell adenoma in a 48-year-old cirrhotic man is observed. Systemic diseases such as hemochromatosis, glycogen storage disease, hormonal disturbance or any kind of drug consumption were not revealed. In the histologic examination portal tracts, bile ducts and central veins were absent. Although liver cell adenomas are benign lesions it is important to discuss it from the point of underlying disease, as cirrhosis per se is a precursor of hepatocellular carcinoma.
