Abstract
in English, German

Benign solid liver tumors are frequently discovered during routine sonographic examinations. As a rule, malignant tumors can be excluded using contrast medium-based sectional imaging; however, unclear cases can represent a diagnostic challenge. The category of solid benign liver tumors includes first and foremost hepatocellular adenoma (HCA), focal nodular hyperplasia (FNH) and hemangioma. Based on the most recent data, an overview of the current standards in the diagnostics and treatment is given.

Gutartige solide Lebertumoren werden häufig im Rahmen sonographischer Routineuntersuchungen entdeckt. In der Regel kann ein maligner Tumor mittels kontrastmittelbasierter Schnittbildgebung ausgeschlossen werden. Unklare Fälle können jedoch eine diagnostische Herausforderung darstellen. Die Kategorie der soliden gutartigen Lebertumoren umfasst in erster Linie das hepatozelluläre Adenom (HCA), die fokale noduläre Hyperplasie (FNH) und das Hämangiom. Anhand aktueller Daten wird ein Überblick über die derzeitigen Standards in Diagnostik und Therapie gegeben.

Keywords: Complications; Diagnostics; Malignancy; Treatment; Treatment pathways.
