Benign liver tumors

F C Nichols 3rd et al. Surg Clin North Am. 1989 Apr.

Abstract

From a practical standpoint, the most important benign hepatic tumors are hepatocytic adenoma, focal nodular hyperplasia, cavernous hemangioma, and bile duct hamartoma. The surgeon needs to be familiar with the pathogenesis, gross and radiologic appearance, and natural history of each of these lesions to formulate an appropriate therapeutic plan.
