Ultrasound Imaging of Hepatocellular Adenoma Using the New Histology Classification

Abstract

Hepatocellular adenoma is a rare benign liver tumor. Predisposing factors include hepatic storage diseases and some genetic conditions. A new histology-based classification has been proposed but to date, the corresponding ultrasound imaging features have not been reported. Here we review the new classification scheme and discuss the corresponding features on contrast-enhanced ultrasound imaging.
