Abstract | BACKGROUND & AIMS: METHODS: Twelve women with documented hepatocellular adenoma were closely monitored during a total of 17 pregnancies between 2000 and 2009. Their files were reviewed. RESULTS: CONCLUSIONS: A "wait and see" management may be advocated in pregnant women presenting with a hepatocellular adenoma. In women with large tumours or in whom hepatocellular adenoma had complicated previous pregnancies, surgical resection may be recommended. In women with smaller adenomas it may no longer be necessary to discourage pregnancy.
